September 2007 Newsletter

Welcome back from summer vacation. I hope you were able to get out and enjoy some fresh air and sunshine.  Shoot, I was so busy this summer I hardly noticed it passed. Here in Seattle the sun is setting earlier now and the mornings have turned into sweater time. 

Fall is here! And I have a new product launch, which is why I didn't notice our few sunny days fly by.

I'm excited to announce the completion of production on the DVD called How to Add Videos to your eBay Listings.

To celebrate the accomplishment and to kick start sales, Janelle Elms from the Online Success Institute, Dany Byrne from Ghost Let Media and I are teaming up to offer a FREE four part webinar series on adding videos to your listings. 

You're invited to take one or all four - again they're FREE!

For more information about the series - see below.

This month's video ties in with the DVD release. YouTube has just released some great new tools for their users - take a look below.

September Book Review


The eBay Seller's Tax And Legal Answer Book
by Cliff Ennico

Click Here To Buy

I bought this book a couple of months ago. Now that I've recovered from another tax season, I felt ready to tackle another tax and legal book.

Much to my pleasant surprise this one was easy to read. Cliff wrote it in a language that most eBay sellers will understand. I'm really impressed with the incredible amount of useful information packed into this book. I'm keeping a copy and recommending it to all my clients as a must read for eBay business.

It has check lists, information on starting a business, bookkeeping made simple and several tax & legal tips that I've never read anywhere else. 

Here's the description from the cover:

Anyone running a wholesale or retail business must deal with legal and tax issues, and those who sell on eBay are no exception. Yet many eBay sellers remain ignorant of the consequences they may face if they disregard certain basic rules. Packed with stories of actual eBay sellers, this helpful guide takes readers through the most common eBay transactions, pointing out all the legal and tax issues they may encounter along the way.
