As an eight-year veteran eBay PowerSeller, eBay Education Specialist, Registered Trading Assistant, and founder of The Dallas eBaybes & eMales, world s largest eBay Seller s Meetup Group, I am very familiar with and have read almost every eBay book that s ever been published. Most of these books only cover the basic how-to elements of eBay and do not zero in on eBay sellers and their specific needs. How and Where to Locate the Merchandise to Sell on eBay provides answers to the one question I get asked most by my students, Where do I find merchandise to sell on eBay? This book is rich with attitude adjustments to achieve success with no sales experience. No other book delves into finding a niche market and enjoying long-term online business mastery with no specialized training or education. --Stephanie Inge; eBay Education Specialist; Certified eBay Instructor; eBay Registered Trading Assistant
