With over 80 million registered eBay users in the English speaking countries, consumers are empowered to buy just about anything at a price that’s fair. And millions have used eBay to either sell some of the stuff lying around the house, or they make a living utilizing this unique online flea market. The two latest additions to the 20 Questions series break the subject of "eBaying" down into two distinct books for two distinct audiences: eBay buyers and eBay sellers. And if readers were to buy both books, they’d have the complete information on how eBay works and how they could make it work for them. Of the millions of eBayers, the vast majority are buyers. In 20 Questions to Ask Before Buying on eBay, shoppers will learn it all—from how to get started, how to search for an item, and how to "etch" an item; to how to place a bid, how to not get outbid, what happens when the auction ends, and the importance of feedback. Companion Volume 20 Questions to Ask Before Selling on eBay (ISBN 1-56414-854-8) Michael Lewis is author/coauthor of eight books, including The Cheapskate’s Guide to Walt Disney World, A Guy Walks Into a Bar, and Here, There, and Everywhere. He is a frequent eBay buyer, and also sells on the website through his screenname SamsPop1 (and has 100% positive feedback with nearly 500 independent reviews since 1998). He lives in Northern New Jersey.
