Don´t Get Burned on eBay: Avoid eBay Disasters, Scams, Fakes

Sebastopol, CA--Every day, people fall into traps while bidding, paying, shipping and dealing with other eBayers. But you don´t have to. Don´t Get Burned on eBay (Wright, O´Reilly, $16.99) helps you profit from others´ mistakes. It´s packed with hair-raising stories of people who made innocent mistakes that led to grief, humiliation, and loss of money. 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.

Wright´s book shows you how to avoid getting burned on eBay. It covers:
- Bidding: Place smart bids so you don’t get stuck with two pairs of Jimmy Choo jeans
- Payments: Never, ever, use Western Union. How the heck does PayPal work?
- Packaging: Great tips for acquiring free and discounted packing material
- Shipping: Learn what shippers to choose and when; includes information on international shipping too
- Other eBayers: Don’t get ousted from eBay making cranky or hasty comments.
- Scammers: If it looks too good to be true, it probably is

˝This book is for anyone who´s ever used eBay,˝ says Wright. ˝Even veteran buyers and sellers often don´t know the intricacies of eBay´s and PayPal´s rules.˝

Don´t Get Burned on eBay is filled with funny and outrageous real-life stories and nuggets of wisdom. Readers will come away well-informed and better protected from potential pitfalls. The book´s extensive glossary and numerous in-depth sidebars also make it useful to people who haven´t yet taken the plunge into eBay.
