I would guess the the vast majority of the sellers don't make money. It smells like some kind of scam to me. At the very least, a lot of people's time is being wasted. They need to be more upfront with sellers about their chances; give them statistics. It normally isn't that much trouble to spend money in America. I do fine at the mall. 252370@blogcritics.org Sun, 9 Oct 2005 19:39:47 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/10/09/190041.php#comment-252359 I found eBay very daunting the first dozen times I went to the site. That's why I was so pleased at the guidance this book offered. I acquired three books about eBay at the same time, so I'll be taking a look at the other two as we go along here. This one was definitely the friendliest in layout and tone, so I started with it. 252359@blogcritics.org Sun, 9 Oct 2005 19:25:56 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/10/09/190041.php#comment-252356 I think that your experience was instructive. I personally failed to even MAKE A PURCHASE on eBay after lots of trying. Once I even paid the "Buy It Now" price but the system wouldn't process my payment, then I was dunned by the seller. 252356@blogcritics.org Sun, 9 Oct 2005 19:21:46 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/10/09/190041.php#comment-252353 No, but I used this initial adventure as a way to explore the book as much as to sell my spouse's artworks. Until two days ago, no one had looked at it, so interest is building - slightly. The auction isn't finished yet, either. And I will probably relist... 252353@blogcritics.org Sun, 9 Oct 2005 19:16:54 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/10/09/190041.php#comment-252352 Did you make any money so far? 252352@blogcritics.org Sun, 9 Oct 2005 19:12:06 EDT
