Since its founding almost a decade ago, eBay has changed the way the world shops. This leading online auction site now has more than 114 million active users who buy and sell just about everything imaginable—from antiques and collectibles to cars, cameras, and crafts. While some log on hoping to sell single items they simply want to get rid of, others have built multimillion-dollar businesses by auctioning off items to buyers around the globe. The most successful of these have been crowned as Titanium PowerSellers by eBay—an indication that they are the most elite merchants on the site.

So, how did these Titanium PowerSellers get started, and what does it really take to build a thriving online auction empire that generates millions of dollars in sales? The answers to these questions and more are found in The eBay Millionaire.

Within every information-packed page, author Amy Joyner goes one-on-one with eighteen Titanium PowerSellers to reveal the proven and tested strategies that will enable you to build your own profitable eBay business.
