Ad for a " How to do eBay" class:

"This class will offer all the tools you need to get started selling on eBay and each individual will receive a coupon to list there first 3 items for free. It will allow you to earn money while you sleep since eBay users utilize buying and selling on a 24/7 schedule 365 days a year. It's been reported that the average American household has at least $1,200 - $1,500.00 in valuable, unused merchandise collecting dust around the house, is this your situation? Every man's junk is another man's treasure!! Learn to sell the practical way without all the extra enhancements of getting rich quick! You will not be disappointed."

I'd love the extra enhancement of getting rich quick!

I also notice "there first 3 items" in the first line. Hope they are not offering advice on writing descriptions as well. On second thought it has fewer errors than many of the descriptions I have read.

A refresher course in English might be in order here. I see a few grammatical errors in that paragraph.

Otherwise he is apparently a good seller with 100% feedback....can't blame a fellow for trying.

I just love the truth about doing ebay and not getting rich quick, lol. I am sure that is not what she meant but it is certainly how I read it.

Yes, Helen, good for her for trying. I would not want to tie up 2 nights of my time to teach 4 strangers how to do ebay much less do it $65 including materials.

BTW, I was not searching for ebay training. This seller occasionally has some neat jewelry finds.

If you check out her inventory you will find that she also offers the service for 200.00. In this case, it's a "one-on-one class".
