Book Reviews of eBay Income: How Anyone of Any Age, Location, and/or Background Can Build a Highly Profitable Online Business with eBay

Book Review: Good info, but outdated
Summary: 3 Stars

I actually like this book because it does exactly what is claimed, which is to describe methods for making money on ebay. However, the reason I say it is outdated is because, let's face it, all the easy money has already been made. As in anything, you need to be one of the front runners to realize the most potential. If you comparison shop on ebay you will see that the competition is fierce, and that unless you are getting your salable items for next to nothing you will not make any real money.

Which brings me to point number two. The book talks of buying items at wholesale and selling on ebay at a profit. Realistically, most people cannot buy at wholesale unless they have a brick and mortar storefront and a verifiable tax id. There are many companies claiming to be wholesalers available to anyone but my research has shown that they are actually just middlemen. THEY get to buy at actual wholesale, and then they mark up the price to sell to you. So you will not get the items cheaply enough to sell at much of a profit.

This is not a negative review, just a realistic one. Yes, you can make some money on ebay using this book, but the big players have already made most of the money available. After factoring in your cash outlay to purchase items, ebay's fees, and the fees charged by PayPal, you may find - as I have - that it requires a lot of effort and time to make only a few dollars.
