Ebay Powerseller Million Dollar Ideas: Innovative Ways to Make Your Ebay Sales Soar by Debra Schepp and Brad Schepp (2006, Paperback)

I've been waiting for this book for SIX months!

If you read the first book by Brad and Debra Schepp (eBay Power Seller Secrets) You'll love this book, if you didn't read the first book, eBay Powerseller Secrets, I highly advise that you buy both! Brad and Debra Schepp write with an easy to read style. I feel these two books have more value than the other 40 eBay and ecommerce books I have on my shelf. I like the fact that this book delves deeper into the culture of eBay sellers than most other eBay books.

You won't find anything about the SYI form or how to list your item. This book is far more advanced and gives you insight into who the successful PowerSellers are on eBay and why, it may as well be the who's who of eBay PowerSellers. Brad and Debra are associate members of the Professional eBay Seller's Alliance, they seem to have the inside track on everything eBay. They even write for the auction industry news authority Auctionbytes.

Unlike other authors that pretend to be experienced eBay experts, Brad and Debra don't, they bring you the stories and facts from the experts in a far more valuable format that reads more like entertainment than a boring business instruction book. I do advise that when you sit down to read this book to have highlighter or sticky notes handy, the concepts fly at you and you can't put this book down, do yourself a favor and mark the spots when you have those million dollar AHA moments while reading. Instead of getting the perspective of just an author, Brad and Debra bring you the perspectives of many different sellers. Brad and Debra put some soul and personality into the book bringing wisdom from what appears to be over 100 of the top sellers on eBay.

They touch quite a few topics that are near and dear to my heart.

How to find products (the simple and cheap way)

Multi Channel Sales (Our New Mantra)

The future of listing enhancements (Free pictures, audio and even video)

Google Adwords, Froogle and Gbase.

Your eBay community and interaction with it. (Sharing with others produces returns)

Bonus section (Top 500 sellers and the top 200 fastest growing sellers on eBay)

Brad and Deb's first book eBay Powerseller Secrets:Insider Tips from eBay's Most Successful Sellers encouraged me to start my own me page and helped develop processes that I use today. They are solid no bull writers that practice what they preach, I'm sure if they wanted to , with all the information they have gathered, they could be one of the top ten sellers on eBay, but you can definitely tell when reading their books that their passion is writing about eBay and technology, they capture the soul of eBay and bind it for you. If I could only have one eBay book, this would be it.

Fantastic book! Even better than the first Powerseller book. If you are looking for creative ways to improve your eBay business, this book will set you off on a running start.

It is full of specific examples from quality eBay sellers and real world examples: search engine optimization ideas, customer relation ideas, marketing and advertising, and even selling beyond eBay. Plenty of screen shots for visual examples.

It is very well written and easy-to-read. More importantly, it's easy to reference. At the end of every chapter there is a wonderful "Meet a Powerseller" write-up.

If you are serious about your eBay business, this book is a must-read. Have a highlighter ready. You'll need to use it!

I've been selling occasionally on ebay for a few years, now I want to go full time. This book has some good ideas but it's getting outdated. Some of the best hints and tips are worthless. The companies it recommends are no longer in business or don't provide that particular service anymore. Real disappointing and no help with product sourcing, your on your own. I like that it doesnt fill your head with get rich quick scenarios. It's real work to build an eday business. Alot of searching on your own. This book provides some hints in the right direction but just hints, not a road map. Don't get your hopes up as the book it's self states. This book might help it you've never sold on ebay before and have no experience, other than that, use ebay itself to educate yourself.

Brad and Debra Schepp had a real winner with the fist Power Seller Secrets, But this is the best yet! Very up-to-date and current.
