 New Website for Book Material July 9, 2010

Responding to a comment left recently ...
The website referenced in this book changed. We're having trouble getting through the official update process on the book description itself, so trying this instead!
The companion website and corresponding materials is now located at: [...]
 Dated - Much of the material is in the form of internet links & Website doesn't exist! May 21, 2010

If there were a way to give this book 0 stars I would. First, the criticism in the other current 1 star review is legitimate, so read it. I expect a 2005 tax book to be dated, & I am used to buying books with companion websites. This book takes that to the extreme. A huge amount of the material which should be in the book was linked on a companion website. I say was, because the website no longer exists. The publisher & Amazon have no business continuing to sell the book under these circumstances, & the author should either be supporting it or pushing to have it pulled off the shelves. It is a complete ripoff, & at this point even the used prices are too high.
In addition, the formatting for the kindle version is terrible. The sidebars are apparently formatted as images so they do not text wrap correctly & you keep having to change font size; & many of the charts & table are illegible even in the computer versions of the kindle reader. (You also can't print out of the kindle reader app, which exacerbates the problem of the phantom website.)
It is too bad that the author is not supporting or updating this book. It is needed. At this point for tax info on ebay, see: "My Tax Tutor for eBay Sellers: What every eBay seller should know about their taxes," a self published effort by accountant Joni Becker. It is concise & worthwhile, even if the formatting is a bit off here & there. There is also a listing for another book coming out in June 2010 if you search "ebay Taxes."

Of All The Books I've Read on EBay... January 24, 2008

I've read nearly every book there is pertaining to online selling, marketing, taxes, blogging, search engines, etc. and this book is the best one above all.
If you are selling online, and you are not claiming the deductions that you are legally entitled to, either because you don't know they exist or because you don't want to claim your income, you obviously have no idea what you are missing out on! (I know, I know - you shouldn't end a sentence with a preposition) You are FAR better off claiming your income and taking the deductions!
We have been selling bluing services and items on commission on eBay for several years. We cannot say enough about this book. It is very easy to read and well written to allow ease in referencing information later.
Go ahead! Spend the few dollars! It will be well worth it and - you can write it off!
