  Book Information

Whatever you call it--an online auction house, the world's
largest flea market, or a vast social experiment--no
metaphor completely describes the huge trading community
that is eBay. Underneath it all, eBay is also a computer
program and a complex socio-economic system, requiring
experience, finesse, and the right tools to master.

eBay Hacks, 2nd Edition has been completely revised and
updated to make use of an array of new tools and features,
as well as to reflect the changes in the eBay API, eBay's
policies, and general practices of its increasingly
sophisticated users. In all, the new edition of eBay Hacks
sports 30 brand-new hacks plus dozens of hacks that have
been expanded, deepened, or otherwise completely rewritten.

eBay Hacks shows you how to become a more efficient buyer
and seller with clever tricks and shortcuts that will
surprise even the most experienced eBayers. The book's wide
range of topics covers all aspects of using eBay, such as
advanced searching techniques, sniping tools, selling
strategies, photography tips, and even research techniques
for PowerSellers. But eBay Hacks doesn't just cover the
basics; you'll learn how to write scripts to automate
tedious tasks, take better photos, and tap into the eBay API
to develop your own custom tools. Unlike any other book,
eBay Hacks, 2nd Edition also provides insight into the
social aspects of the eBay community, with diplomatic tools
to help to get what you want with the least hassle and risk
of negative feedback.

This bestseller supplies you with the tools you need to
master eBay, whether as a buyer or seller, casual surfer or
serious collector, novice or seasoned expert. With this
guide, you will become a savvy power user who trades smarter
and safer, makes more money, enjoys successes, and has fun
doing it.
