These days it seems like you can't turn around without bumping into someone selling a book on "How To Do eBay".  It's no wonder, with eBay's massive customer base, it just makes good sense to market your goods and services via the online auction giant. I'll offer my eBay tips here in a series I'll call "Auctionwally's eBay Secrets".  I don't have a How to do eBay Book,...yet, but my advice comes from ten years of selling on eBay, so take it or leave it, but rest assured, anything I offer here, I've tried and used. I'll try to keep it to uncommon content which I feel the average eBay user might not know.

Here is one of the latest entrants into the latter category.
