The eBay Business Handbook
Harriman House
Harriman House author is eBay No.1
An Essex author is celebrating, now his recent publication is topping the eBay book chart on Amazon.co.uk.
Robert Pugh wrote The eBay Business Handbook, after giving up his full-time office job to become an online PowerSeller. He decided to share his personal experiences and pass on his business knowledge to other eBay sellers. The guide is now leading the way on the world-famous online bookstore, beating off competition from over 250 other eBay books.
Managing Director of Harriman House, Myles Hunt, commented: "I think Bob's inspiring, real-life story has played a big part in the success of the book. Readers know that when they pick up a copy, they're about to read the good (and bad) experiences of an established PowerSeller. His enthusiasm and determination is contagious and as long as you have a desire to succeed, The eBay Business Handbook will guide you in the right direction."
Since the publication of his book in April 2006, Bob has launched a free, weekly newsletter - The eBay UK Bulletin. The e-mail is distributed by Harriman House to over 1,000 subscribers, with more and more keen eBayers signing up every day. Readers can learn some handy auction tips and keep up-to-date with the latest eBay news, such as this month's strikes by unhappy, professional traders. There's also the opportunity to e-mail Bob with your questions and feedback - with a personal reply guaranteed.
Speaking of the good news, Bob said: "I'm over the moon! I've received so many nice comments about the book and seeing my name in the No.1 spot of Amazon's eBay book chart, is the icing on the cake. Hopefully I can continue encouraging those people who've dreamt of being their own boss."

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
After 24 years working for the same company, and many years within the corporate sales division, Bob Pugh realised it was time for a change.
He began selling on eBay in January 2003, initially by clearing his house of unwanted items - with very little knowledge of computers and no experience of selling via the internet. The first few months proved to be a steep learning curve, but he soon became an established eBay PowerSeller and has since sold over 5000 items.
Now, aged 40, he has retired from full-time work and uses eBay to generate an income as and when it is required.
