Letter from the Author, Elaine Krieg Smith
Dear fellow booklover,
I see so many booksellers working their fingers to the bone putting up hundreds
of auctions that don't sell. Overall sell-through for book auctions on eBay is only
38-39% (mine is typically 82-100%). And when they do sell, the fees consume the
profit because they are selling $4 books.
It doesn't have to be that way.
Over the years, I observed and tested many book auctions on eBay. As I saw the
patterns of successful auctions, I implemented them in my own selling with
profitable results.
For years, I shared my insight with online friends. Now YOU
can benefit because I compiled and organized this information into one concise
ebook.
You Want Book Specific Advice Because There Is No Other eBay Category Like BOOKS.
Bookbuyers behave differently than buyers in other categories. There are special advantages to selling books that you will never hear about in a general eBay book. Describing the condition of books has its special challenges. There are money-saving ways to ship books that cannot be used in other categories. The terminology is unique. You need to know just how to phrase that title.
Why settle for a "principles of cooking" book when you can get one with recipes spelled out?In How to Sell Books Using Online Auctions you will get book-specific advice on buying, describing, shipping books, and much more.
Do you know the right time to start your book auction at 99 cents and when to start it at $99?
You will learn the criteria to use to make this judgment call.
Do you know why most who use BUY-IT-NOW for collectible books are throwing money away?
You will have access to my research and learn when BINs should be avoided.
Do you know when it is important to use more than one image of your book in your auction?
When you use the right photos at the right time, your ending price can increase dramatically.

You'll Have Happy, Loyal Customers Which Means Higher Profits For You . . .
Do you know how to get repeat customers? How many times have you heard a happy
customer tell you she has put you on her favorite seller's list and PLEASE let
her know when you list more books?
Many times I have checked the competition to see that their auction of the same
book closed with no sale EVEN THOUGH THEIR STARTING PRICE WAS LOWER THAN MINE!
Loyal customers will buy from you without even looking at competing auctions.

Your Sell-Through Rate Will Increase When One Buyer Happily Bids On Multiple
Auctions . . .
Would you like your customers to order not just one book but two, three or ten?
You will learn the steps to encourage this. Many buyers will not bid on just one
book because the shipping (on just one book) makes the price less attractive.
Bookbuyers love to buy multiples to save on shipping, yet I see SO FEW SELLERS
TAKING THESE STEPS. They are leaving money on the table.
You can discover the key to having winners of multiple auctions. Why ship twenty
packages when you can ship seven? The customers save on postage, but you save on
time and packing materials. This means MORE PROFIT for you.
You can do this.
Below is a screenshot of auctions of books purchased at Goodwill
and library
booksales.
These auctions grossed $293.24. I paid $7.50 for the books. Deduct $21.57 for
ebay fees and $4.69 for PayPal fees = $259.48 net profit. My sell-through was
100% and the average price per book was $29. These were just ordinary thrift
store books and some of them were in poor condition. Your results may
vary. You may not always sell every book (I don't) but I do know that
if you use the principles outlined in my book you can improve your
sell-through and profits.

 John
Smetana of Morganville, NJDoc-Jaksons-Place on eBay ". . . info in a nutshell is great and I think those sections of your book are worth the price of admission. I've been selling on E Bay for a while and have read a lot of the books/newsletters/etc. but you provided me with new and very useful information. This is a book I would recommend to novice and pro alike. The
style is great. . . not preachy. . . it's full of really great
tips/ideas and you make it easy to put them to use. I really liked
your book Elaine. . . when compared to some of the others I've read,
it's terrific and I've read a ton of them. I also appreciate the
fact that you're not pushing another "product" on every other line. . .
I want info, not advertising and that's what you provided. " |
How's YOUR reputation?

create an attractive, effective auction using Turbo Lister.

rating. You will receive email templates to help you with those all important
emails.

"The book is thorough and very readable. The tips interspersed along the way are
worth the price of the book! New and seasoned eBayers will learn a lot from reading this treasure. Elaine has done the legwork and research. I know I
certainly got my money's worth. It's unlike the other ebook I once bought about
selling on eBay. It barely scratched the surface and told me nothing that I
didn't already know. Elaine's book is full of advice you've probably never seen
anywhere else." |
So what's in the book?
Section One lists all of the things you need to do before you create your auction listings. By doing all the prep work ahead of time, you will be more organized and will be able to list more books in less time. Some of the topics are:
- Branding yourself
- Why research is so important and how to do it
- Sorting and grouping books
- Getting images of your books
- Calculating shipping charges
- and much more . . .
Section Two takes you through the steps to list a book. Turbo Lister is used by more sellers than any other program, but the documentation is scarce. I will walk you through creating a new item. The information that goes into Turbo Lister is the same for the Sell-Your-Item form or any other tool you may use. Some of the topics are:
- Making the most of Turbo Lister
- Keywords and the importance of your title
- Which extra features are worth the money
- How to create a template in Turbo Lister
- Saving money on shipping and insurance
- How to decide on your terms
- Getting the word out
- and much more . . .
Section Three will help you complete your sale. While still providing the best possible service, you can maximize profits by keeping your expenses low. I will share with you the tools I have used to create an efficient system. Some of the topics are:
- Post auction management
- Shipping methods
- Feedback
- Handling returns
- and much more . . .
Section Four discusses the importance of the AboutMe page and shows you how you can leverage eBay traffic to make more sales. Few sellers take advantage of this opportunity. With your AboutMe page you can expand your eBay business into multiple passive streams of income.
You will get the latest, up-to-date eBay advice for 2006.
Originally written in 2004/2005, the book is being updated and expanded based on the many wonderful suggestions I received from those who bought my book. In addition, unlike many other eBay book authors, I am still an active seller. I continue to test, discovering what works best in today's ever-changing market.
You need not wait for the second edition. As I write the new and expanded sections throughout 2006, you will receive them at NO CHARGE. When I complete the updates, the expanded second edition will be issued at a higher price. You can lock in your price and receive the updates throughout the year by buying now.
What is NOT in the book:
I do not tell you how to find new books wholesale to sell on eBay. My one experiment in this area was not profitable enough for me to want to pursue it.
I do not give you titles of specific books to look for. That information will be in different product.

"Leave the “hand holding” to the dummies book, this
eBay “how to” not only teaches the beginner but offers gems to the
seasoned eBayer. I immediately began implementing some of Elaine’s
suggestions and saw not only my sell-through rate improve, but the
Final Value of my books increase. This is a MUST HAVE resource for any
eBayer." |
Imagine What Fun It Will Be When Bookbuyers Thank You For Just The Book They

Bookselling can be fun and fulfilling - especially when you get those thank you
notes. eBay can be a part-time or full-time business and you can even involve
your family because you work from home. But you owe it to them to use that
bookselling time in the most profitable way.
You can learn to do it like I did, with years of observing and testing. Or you
can jumpstart your eBay business by taking advantage of this guide. You can
START WITH the insight that I have gained over the years. Before long, new
sellers will be asking you for advice!
You be the judge. You take absolutely no risk with my:
8 Weeks, No Questions Asked 100% Guarantee!Not sure if this book is for you? |
If you're serious about a book business that brings in significant amounts of
money, you will want to get started right away. Think of all the extra eBay
profits that are slipping away . . .
So, what are you waiting for?
Order now before the price goes up and discover how much fun selling books can be.
Sincerely,
Elaine Krieg Smith
P.S. - Remember, once you follow the steps outlined in the book, it will be almost impossible for you to not increase your profits by selling more books, for higher prices in less time. The book will pay for itself.
