Hello, my name is Richard, and I trade in eBay under the title of smiley1wine.
I have been selling ebooks through eBay for a couple of years now. I only sell ebooks, I don't sell physical books at all. I have a website www.ebookroom.org and an ebay store Ebook Room both well worth a visit.
Why ebooks?
I have always loved books, books of any sort, I have 5 bookcases full of books, so when I was looking for a new business after I retired, then books seemed to be the answer.
I decided on ebooks rather than physical books for very practical reasons. They are easy to store, fairly cheap to buy, and cost nothing to post - a great advantage for you - you only pay for what you get.
However, all my ebooks come with full resale rights if you decide to sell them on. It's a great business if you are looking for extra income. You might want to check out the package I offer in my eBay store. I can also provide help for setting up your business if this is what you need. You can contact me direct on smiley1wine@btconnect.com.
What are ebooks?
Ebooks are electronic books that are downloaded straight on to your computer, for you to view at your leisure.
Most ebooks are reference books of one sort or another, for your benefit, they are very rarely 'novels'. The idea of curling up with your computer for a good read, doesn't seem to fit.
Recipe books are great for ebooks, they don't take up any room on your shelves and they never get dirty. You just print off the page you want and you're ready to start cooking. When you have made the recipe, you throw away the printed sheet, and the do the same thing for the next recipe. I actually sell loads of recipe books, but you might want to check out my recipe collection, available in my ebay store where you can buy 10 great books for only a fiver.
Instruction books (particularly those that are computer related) are always easier to use when they are actually on your computer, as they allow you to toggle between the book and the propgram you are using. Have a look at HTML for beginners, Secrets of Microsoft Word, Increase the traffic to your Web Site, Your Camera and Your Computer amongst many other available in my ebay store.
:: FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ::
What is an e-Book? The term e-Book means 'electronic book'. It is a document that can be read on a PC or palm-held device.
Do I need software to read an e-Book? Many e-Books are written in Portable Document Format (PDF). To read this kind of file you will need Acrobat Reader which you can download for free at www.adobe.com Most other e-Books are executable files (.exe). In other words they will open themselves and do not require any software. Some files are Microsoft Word files, or HTML which can be read by your web-browser.
Will I need any other software? Often e-Books are delivered in a 'zipped' format. This means the files are compressed so they take up less storage space and can be delivered quicker. You will need WinZip to 'unzip' the files. You may well have this on your PC already, but if not you can also download this for free at www.winzip.com
How do I pay for my e-Book? You can make a totally secure payment using your credit card through PayPal. This is an eBay company so please buy with confidence. To find out more visit their web-site at www.paypal.com
How will I get my e-Book? You will receive an e-mail at your Primary PayPal e-mail address. This message will contain a link where you can download your e-Book direct from my web-space.
My e-Book has not arrived - why? Normally you will receive your e-Book within 12 hours of payment, and usually much quicker. If you do not see your e-Book after this time, first check your e-mail spam filter. Often messages from unknown sources can end up here. If you still do not see your e-Book then please do not hesitate to get in touch with me via the Contact page above, and I will re-send your item. Be sure to adjust your spam filter and put the @aol.com domain name on your 'accepted senders' list.
