eBays Hot Selling Books' Find Out Which Books Sell & How To Find Them

Selling books on eBay can be a very lucrative business! There are eBayers who sell only books and make a nice little income doing it. Where do they get these books to sell? At thrift stores' estate sales' flea markets' book fairs' yard sales' library sales' grandmas attic' etc. You see' many of these books are just sitting on the shelves getting passed up because they aren't anything special to look at' they're not sparkly and shiny' they don't stand out on the shelf like that Tiffany & Co. crystal & sterling silver vase sitting on the housewares shelf at the Salvation Army. By the way' if you EVER find one of those grab it! -that's a no brainer.

These little hidden gems however' are not that easy to spot just by scanning the shelves- unless you know what to look for. So' how do you know which books will sell? research' study' research' study....

Actually' it's not that hard to get started. I've been researching hot selling books on eBay for a year now. Below is a sample list of my findings:

Wizard and Glass by Dave McKean' Stephen King (1997) Donald Grant First Edition Winning bid: US $207.50 History: 5 bids (US $50.00 starting bid)

The Bourne Identity Robert Ludlum FIRST EDITION HB Marek' 1st edn' First Printing Hardback' RARE!!!! Winning bid: US $140.27 History: 15 bids (US $40.00 starting bid)

Are you surprised? I bet you've passed some of these up before and didn't even know it! Think about it' used books is the perfect product. You may have noticed that it's getting harder and harder to find products to resell on eBay and make a decent profit. Why? because there is a lot more competition as eBay gets more and more popular.

Used' collectible books are the perfect niche. They're everywhere' they're cheap and hardly anyone knows about them!

Dont Be A Victim Of Online Auction Fraud

The Internet Fraud Complaint Center (IFCC) reported that last year 7.7 million dollars was lost through online auction scams. The actual losses are much greater. Most auction scams are not reported because they involve only small amounts of money.

Most auction Web sites are aggressive at fighting fraud. eBay has a fraud investigation unit that has helped them hold down fraud to only .01% of its transactions. If you paid for an item and never received it' or if you received the item but it was less than what was described' eBay's Fraud Protection Program will reimburse you up to $200' minus a $25 processing charge. In order to qualify for Fraud Protection coverage' you must submit an Online Fraud Complaint with eBay after 30 days and before 60 days from the time the auction ended.

After making a purchase' buyers can leave feedback about their experience with the seller. Before you bid on an item' check the seller's feedback profile by clicking on the number next to the their User ID. There is also a feedback forum and discussion board.

Below are a few actions that you should take to protect yourself from Internet auction fraud.

• For a high cost item use an escrow service.

• Avoid sellers who request payment by electronic transfer.

• Never provide your Social Security Number or Drivers License Number.

• Verify the delivery data and the sellers return policy.

• Review the online feedback on a seller.

• If the seller is a business' check with the Better Business Bureau www.bbb.org.

• Prefer sellers who accept credit card payments. When you use a credit card to pay for a purchase' federal law limits your liability for an unauthorized charge to $50. You can also request your credit card issuer to make a charge-back.

• Be cautious about buying from a seller in another country. If you buy from a seller in another country' understand the difference in laws governing auctions between that country and the US.

If you become a victim of Internet auction fraud' you can submit a complaint report with an online form at the IFCC Web site www.ifccfbi.gov. The IFCC will review your complaint and refer it to the proper law enforcement agency.

Internet Auction fraud is a large and growing problem. Take the measures outlined above to prevent yourself from becoming a victim.
