* Barbara Ling
* Jim Cockrum
* Marjory Howes (a former student)
* Mike Enos
* Skip McGrath
* Terry Gibbs
* Tim Knox
* Donna Boyle & Kim Vaugh, the Auction Mommies

We were asked a series of questions (grouped by topic):

* What should I sell?
* How do I determine my niche?
* What should I avoid?
* What are Powersellers selling?
* Where do I get products to sell?
* Should I create my own products?

* How do I write a perfect description?

* What is the best time to end an auction?

* How do I create my eBay store?

* What should I include on my About Me page?

* How do I deal with competitors?

* What are some free or low-cost resources for auctions?

* What forms of payment should I accept?

* Do you have any tips for shipping and packaging?

* How can I automate my business and product delivery?

* How do I encourage positive feedback?
* How can I get a lot of feedback in a hurry?
* How do I deal with negative feedback?

* Do I have to charge sales tax?
* Do I have to pay tax on my eBay profits?

* What are some common newbie mistakes?

* Can you suggest any strategies for increasing my profits?

One of the strengths of this two-volume set of ebooks is the different approaches and ways of responding to the same questions. One question = 19 different answers and points of view. So who is "right"? That's the beauty of it - nobody is right or wrong. Whatever works for you is what's right. You can't help but get all kinds of viewpoints from this collection and that's always valuable.

Check out eBay Selling Strategies. At only $27.95, it's an awesome bargain. Anita has become one of my auction students and I've advised her to raise the price! :-)
