About the Book

On any given day there are more than 12 million items listed for auction at eBay, the world's largest online trading community. Almost $15 billion worth of merchandise, in more than 638 million individual auctions, was traded over eBay during the year 2002; that's $50 million a day, or $579 every second. At the end of 2002, eBay had more than 62 million registered users - almost triple the number of users just two years previous. The first edition of this book is a runaway best-seller, so it's only natural we would update this great book to reflect some of eBay's most recent upgrades such as; Selling Manager (eBay's new auction management service), Turbo Lister (new listing creation software) eBay's new listing design features.
