Santa Shops on eBay: How to find deals, get organized, and give yourself the gift of time by Marsha Collier (2006, Paperback)

I picked up this book and it was all over ~ the rest of my day was spent reading, chuckling and visiting ebay stores that I never would have found without this book. Can't wait to get my Christmas shopping started!

I have read numerous books written by Marsha and have always enjoyed ~ and learned ~ from them. Her books are always conversational and humorous ~ and always give guidance to make tasks that seem insurmountable into manageable bits & pieces.

This book takes the vast universe of ebay stores ~ a form of ebay shopping often overlooked by buyers ~ and shows how to find what you are looking for without stepping out of the house!!

Marsha also features 100 of her favorite stores in all categories, not only telling the reader what the stores sell, but a little bit about the people behind the stores. I had SOOOOOO much fun checking them out and finding stores that I never would have found otherwise! I am a proud eBay seller who is honored to be featured in this book. The plethora of information included will help anyone ~ whether you have ever used ebay or not ~ with simplifying Christmas shopping and learning new things about ebay!

Well written, witty, and useful! I bought one for my mom.

I was impressed with the ease of explanation for safe shopping, and the simple tricks to make shopping easy, even for an eBay newbie.

I love that the book focuses on the community of eBay and sellers as real people. Community, after all, is what makes eBay different than they other guys.

The gift ideas (and what NOT to give) were wonderful.

The variety of eBay Stores chosen as favorites (happily, including mine) will give you hours of shopping pleasure and will have you checking off every person on your list this year.

This book is an easy read with the perfect balance of information and entertainment. Two thumbs up!

Another awesome book by Marsha Collier. I was a huge fan of eBay for Dummies and used several of the tricks in refining my ebay selling and am also a fan of the Santa Shops book! She gives great advice to ebayers, even walking people through the months of August through December in preparation for the holidays! This book is easy and fun to read. I am a relative veteran on ebay, but I learned some things and one of my favorite parts is the store listings she gives. I knew of several of the stores - but not ALL and have added several to my favorites...not only for Christmas purchases - but for me too!!! I highly recommend purchasing and reading this fantastic book!

Santa Shops on eBay is yet another great eBay book by Marsha! It starts out with straightforward, sound advice about how to shop on eBay, and how to shop with confidence to score those unique gifts at the best prices from the best merchants. Marsha's conversational style is very readable, presenting her obvious expertise with a common-sense approach.

I recommend this book.

Most authors give a simple basic listing of stores to shop, but not Marsha! Her "TOP 100 eBAY STORES" goes into great detail about the PEOPLE behind the STORES. Learn how they started their businesses from the ground up. She really supports the smaller family owned businesses. After all, eBay is all about home-based-businesses...right?​! There are even screenshot pictures of each stores appearance. Marsha had previously shopped at PIXIEPETS and we were honored to be chosen for her newest book! Her writing style is very conversational with lots of jokes (no bland reading here). It's so simple that even SANTA could buy or sell on eBay after reading SANTA SHOPS ON eBAY.
