Everything you know about eBay is WRONG!

Well, perhaps not everything. But, like an urban legend, coventional eBay wisdom has gained credibility simply by being retold so often.  Here's your chance to learn the truth behind the 199 most common eBay myths, and discover how to use them to your advantage. You'll learn how each myth started, what the reality is, and, most important, how you can gain an edge over other eBayers who still slavishly serve the "myth" conceptions.

“It’s not what you don’t know that hurts you, but what you do know that ain’t so.” – Mark Twain.

Unfortunately, Twain never wrote any such thing. It’s a myth.

The true author was humorist Josh Billings, himself a myth actually named Henry Wheeler Shaw. EBay fabrications spring up in much the same way. Someone discovers a trend and starts telling others that this particular tendency must surely apply to all eBay auctions. Thanks to the speed of online communications, nuggets of truth are soon caked with misconceptions and myths, and accepted as the solemn last word. My book debunks eBay's rampant mythology.
