{"product_id":"9780995069756","title":"Buckaru's Guide to eBay: Beyond the Basics","description":"You would think this book is about eBay but it's more than that. We use eBay as a reference to what you can do on any internet auction site. Even though we talk about eBay and eBay auctions, what we are really talking about is internet sales in general and specifically Internet auctions. Most internet auction sites operate in the same manner that eBay does. You list your items for sale, people bid on them driving the price up, and then at some point the item sells and you get paid for the product. Also most internet auction sites have some form of feedback system, some sort of email system and some sort of payment system built into them. We will touch on and discuss all these things here. \u003cp\u003eIn this book we will talk about various ideas and various ways to do different things that relate to Internet auctions.
