Ebay Powerseller Secrets: Insider Tips from Ebay's Most Successful Sellers by Debra Schepp and Brad Schepp (2007, Paperback)

The ultimate training manual for eBay and beyond!

If you were to look at my eBay About Me page, User ID Harley glasses, you’d see I have read many eBay-related books. This book tops my list for many reasons. The authors, Brad and Deb Schepp, don't pretend to have come up with the information in their book all by themselves. Instead, they start by thanking all of the many, many Powersellers and other professionals who contributed to the book. Many are among the top 100 sellers on eBay and members of PeSA, the Professional eBay Sellers Alliance, or the Internet Merchants Association. Brad and Deb have all the right connections :-)

This book is great for beginners all the way up to advanced sellers. As the 2nd edition, it’s been revised, and is the most current and up-to-date eBay book on the market. Here are some reasons why I’m such a fan:

· It’s packed with information you can put to use immediately. The tips and secrets from experienced sellers are very real, and obviously work in their day-to-day operations. Sit down with the book and have a pad of post-it-notes handy because you are going to want to bookmark lots of sections to revisit.

· Each chapter profiles a Powerseller with a successful eBay businesses, which is very motivating.


· The format of the book is unique, in that each secret is clearly marked. You get the good and the bad points about eBay selling.


· The writing is entertaining and easy to read. The authors are effective and concise, no fluff in this book at all. It’s hard to put down!


Brad and Deb's book encouraged me to create my own About Me page and helped me develop procedures that I use today. (Now I not only sell on eBay, but I have my own website as well.) They are solid, no bull writers who 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.

I've read some questionable eBay books and can honestly say this is the best one out there. That’s why it’s #1 on the book list on my About Me page. Now that we have employees, this book has become our company training manual--it’s the ultimate training reference for eBay and beyond.
