How Do I Write An Ebook?
I would like to find out how I can create an ebook that I can put on my web site and that people can click to download the actual ebook.
Thanks

Dealing With Buy It Now Harassment
I’ve got a scenario I want to throw at you……This concerns eBay’s “Buy It Now” feature. An eBay seller lists 6 pages of auctions. Some other Ebay member, for whatever reason, decides to use the Buy It Now option on well over 60 auctions with no intention of paying.
Leaving the seller stuck with listing fees on auctions that don’t result in sales. EBay and PayPal both refuse to help but eBay still wants their fees paid.
Any suggestions?

An eBay Selling Checklist?
I have never sold on eBay but I am a registered user. I need help in simply getting started - - - the first “baby” steps.
I’ve read and read ebooks and articles over and over. But I have yet to see (or maybe I missed it) the exact steps you go through to place your first item up for bid.
I don’t want to do anything wrong just because it’s my first time. I want to be able to at least start out right but I do know I will make mistakes as I learn.
How do you go from reading the “how to start” to actually starting? Something like a very simple check list?
Sincerely,
Corinne Larimore
Wow Your Buyers With Proper Packaging
I one time you had a video of 2 purchases you received and how they were packed for shipping. Is that video still available? I want to send to a couple of friends that are selling on eBay.

Does eBay Have Slow Seasons?
Is there a better time of the year to list items. Is summer slower that, say, the fall winter or spring? Are there any statistics on this? I really don’t want to waste my listing fee money if no one is going to bid.
Thanks for all your good advice in the book and through email,
Bob
Taking PayPal, But Not Credit Cards
Ebay has started forcing sellers that accept Paypal to accept credit card payments even if they only want to accept payment through bank-to-bank instant transfer.
I’m not a business. I just use Ebay to get rid of stuff around the house. I cannot afford to pay the Paypal charges for accepting credit card purchase. Ebay will cancel your listing if you state “you only accept bank-to-bank instant transfer” but will accept “prefers bank-to-bank instant transfer”. Is there a way around this issue? It’s come to the point that it’s not worth it for me to list items on Ebay.

eBay Seller Doesn’t Deliver Purchase
I had my 1st dud deal on ebay this week. Bought an item, paid via direct deposit, not received and now the seller is no longer a registered user. Ebay gave me a disconnected mobile phone number for them. Any suggestions?
Thank you so very much I am sure you must get bombarded with questions. I greatly appreciate your time.
Kindest regards,

PayPal Seizes Money In Account
I read your newsletter all the time and find the information useful. I am particularly interested in seeing some mail and questions from other readers. Having said that, can you finish your response to the question about the Buyer Complaining About Misrepresentation? You elaborated on what they should do regarding the bidder, but you didn’t elaborate on PayPal and what seems to me to be total authority to do whatever they want with other people’s money that is in their possession.
Yes, you guessed it, PayPal removed money from my account before too, and never gave a reason despite many inquiries.
Thanks,
Larry
Should You Specialize In One Type Of eBay Product?
I receive your newsletter and it is very helpful, and I have a question! I have been selling on eBay for about 3 months now. I have sold stuff I bought from garage sales. My question is do I specialize in one thing? If so what if you don’t know what to specialize in?
I have sold a few old books that brought in a good profit. But when you deal in antiques and collectibles there is too much to know about it all and that is a lot. Or is it profitable to sell NEW from wholesalers? I sure need some guidance.
Can you help?
Thank you in advance.
Have a great day,

Buyer Complaining About Misrepresentation
Here is my situation…two bidders got into a bidding war over an item of mine and it ended up selling for much more than I
expected but it was also the only one of it’s kind up for auction
so I attributed it to that.
The buyer paid but then sent me a very angry e-mail demanding a refund and saying that it wasn’t what he thought it was and accused me of misrepresenting the item.
I asked him to better explain himself and he sent me two more
angry e-mails that were more confusing and accusing. Before I
could respond he gave me a negative feedback. I didn’t retaliate
or even reply, I was in the process of trying to research and
figure out what I should do when I found this web site, but now he just filed a dispute with paypal and paypal put a hold on my account. I didn’t know they could do that, I thought that I had the right to issue refunds at my discretion.
I am going to defend myself because I don’t feel his claim is
fair. I guess my question is has this ever happened to you? If so were you able to protect your sale? And do you have any advise for me? Thank you for your time.
Regards,
Robin
Getting Listing Help With The eBay Assistant Program
Terry,
You mentioned specializing in specific eBay products, and I have chosen a focus, but what I am finding is that I find so many great deals that I cannot possibly list everything myself.
Do you know people who have found it profitable to run their business by farming out some of the listings and paying fees to those folks to list items for them? I am thinking I will list some, but also find a couple of businesses that I can use to keep more stuff moving than what I can possibly move on my own.

Minimizing Shipping Costs
Hi Terry,
I use eBay as a part time income, and I have been wondering how to minimize my shipping costs. What is the cheapest way to ship? Is there a strategy to the packing that can help me save on the packaging costs? Thanks!

Placing An Image Next To Your Title In Search Results
Terry,
I obviously am doing something wrong. I can get a good picture in the main listing both from e-Bay’s server as well as on my ISP’s server. And I can put picture into the main body of my listing by using the img src=http: But what I can’t figure out is how to make my picture show up beside the Item Title in the search and category listings. Please help!
Thanks, Cary Veteto
