The most challenging task for us was to reduce it all to only 55 pages. We are talking about a household brand, an online destination as famous as Amazon or maybe even more so because it has that “intriguing factor”: auctions, rare, unusual or collectable items, and people will immediately remember about buying or selling on eBay when it comes to pretty much anything you might think of. The Internet is supersaturated with information about why, when and how to sell on eBay, for every level of user experience - beginner, established or expert/professional. So we have chosen a combination between many, many years of experience and day by day acclimatisation to what’s new, happening right now as you read. Our intention is to always lower the volume, supply you with real life data and, quality before quantity.
