eBay has introduced many so called experts or gurus, who are willing to offer advice, make recommendations, and publish regular newsletters. One of the most highly regarded experts is Skip McGrath, who is a best selling author of many eBay related books which are available though Amazon and other online book merchants.

Skip's website sells itself as "The Website for Professional Auction Sellers", and this certainly appears to be true. Instead of blantantly offering and advertising products his website seems to offer genuine advice though his articles and indepth blog which is updated almost daily.

In McGraths website, he discusses various ways for sellers to choose wholesale products for their business and websites, how to operate a consignment business and how to make large profits selling art, antiques and collectibles on eBay.

While many other experts boost, about how much they've made and their latest actions, Skip is a man of action. He regularly attends the eBay live conference and his books are some of the most detailed books available on the subject.

He also offers a useful collection of tools and resources as well as a collection of alterative auction sites to use inplace of eBay. Skip also adds further credibility to his profile, by linking to his live auctions on eBay.com allowing you to gain more tips from viewing his listings.
