How This Book Is Organized

This book has five parts. The chapters stand on their own, which means that you can read Chapter 5 after you read Chapter 10 or skip Chapter 3 altogether. It’s all up to you. I do think that you should at least dip into Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 to get an overview on what eBay is all about and find out how to become a registered user.

If you’re already conducting transactions on eBay, you certainly can jump ahead to get good tips on advanced strategies to enhance your sales. Don’t wait for permission from me — just go for it. I won’t argue with you that well-written listings equal higher profits!

Part I: Getting a Feel for eBay

In Part I, I tell you what eBay is and how you use it. I take you through the registration process, help you organize your eBay transactions and interactions by using the My eBay page, and get you comfortable navigating the site from the home page.
