Ebay Shipping Made Easy (Beginner Guide Books) Paperback – December 5, 2019

Excellent reference for those dabbling in reselling or getting rid of stuff. Pay attention to the money amounts for sales and the tax information.

Happy

Lots of good information, definitely worth reading for a newbie like me. However, I felt as if the author talked a lot about using USPS boxes but did not give much info on using your own packaging. A lot of items I intend to ship are too large for USPS boxes and I am trying to figure out how to ship them as cheaply as possible.

Good book

It's a very short book, hardly any pages at all, and yet it has EVERYTHING I need to know that I didn't know before. It tells you everything eBay can do for you and the easiest ways to ship things. When should you use UPS or the USPS? How do you charge for shipping on your listing? How do you ship internationally? It's all here. Takes less than 1/2 hour to read. It's more informational on shipping and more useful than the big thick eBay books. Well worth the price.

I had watched several videos online, and while they were informative and helpful, reading this book really sealed the deal for me. I was able to highlight and take notes, all making it easier to review and reinforce the information. The author relates tips from her actual experiences. I prefer reading the hard copy book - old school I guess.

On the same day, I purchased 2 e-books in preparation to becomming an eBay seller. Although I am able to exchange emails with friends and can order successfully from Amazon, I haven't gathered the courage to start my online selling business. This book certainly helped me get rid of the monster under the bed concerning packaging and shipping and also global selling. It is well organized, is written simply and clearly, and showed me how easy it is. Thank you, Ann.Frances

I have ordered another e-book from Ms. Eckhart in the past, and I was pleased with that purchase. However, I found this e-book, which is supposed to make shipping easy, to be weak on the international shipping topic. Since moving into the international market has become very important in this economy to boost sales, it is imperative that any eBay seller who decides to ship internationally knows what to do. I would not care so much about this except that I needed information on shipping and this e-book says it provides that info.As far as international shipping, Ms. Eckhart basically just directs the reader to use the Global Shipping Program on eBay. The problem is that the Global Shipping Program does not always work and is not always a good choice. Sometimes a seller just wants to send internationally without using the Global Shipping Program. It would have been nice to have a brief walk-through of what is required in the eBay data fields, just one example of actually filling out the international shipping information for a listing. Perhaps that would have required more effort to write, but I would have been happy to pay an extra dollar or two to have that info right on my PC Kindle. As it is, I feel that I paid for fairly basic information on shipping (since eBay is a world-wide company) and did not get it. Not so happy with this purchase.
