"Don't Get Burned on eBay".


Every day, people fall into traps while bidding, paying, shipping and dealing with other eBayers. But you don't have to. "Don't Get Burned on eBay" (Wright, O'Reilly) helps you profit from others' mistakes. It's packed with hair-raising stories of people who made innocent mistakes that led to grief, humiliation, and loss of money. With sharp, witty rhetoric, veteran eBay user Shauna Wright (co-founder of the popular web site WhoWouldBuyThat.com), shows eBay veterans and newcomers alike how to avoid those nasty scenarios.
