Lots of books tell you how to buy and sell on eBay. But what if something goes horribly awry? Do you have to chalk it up to a “lesson learned,” lick your wounds and move on? Not a chance. Don’t Get Burned on eBay offers relevant lessons based on real-life stories posted on eBay’s Answer Center. With sharp, witty rhetoric, veteran eBay user Shauna Wright (co-founder of the popular web site WhoWouldBuyThat.com), shows eBay veterans and newcomers alike how to avoid those nasty scenarios, and how to pull themselves out of the muck if they’ve already fallen in.
Six entertaining (and hair-raising) chapters cover real problems that people have encountered with bidding, payment, shipping, packaging, dealing with other eBayers, and coping with the eBay system. This book is for anyone who’s ever used eBay, because even veteran buyers and sellers often don’t know the intricacies of eBay’s and PayPal’s rules. Don’t Get Burned on eBay will leave you well-informed and better protected from potential pitfalls. The book’s extensive glossary and numerous in-depth sidebars also make the book useful to people who haven’t yet taken the plunge into eBay.
