About the author

After 24 years working for the same company, and many years
within the corporate sales division, Bob realised when he hit 40
that 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
were a steep learning curve, but he soon became an established
eBay PowerSeller and has sold over 15,000 items to date.
Now aged 42, he has retired from full-time work. Instead, trading
under the eBay ID of “Mollybol” he uses eBay to generate an
income as and when required.
Bob’s first book, ‘The eBay Business Handbook’, was published in
April 2006 and soon became a best seller. Following the success of
that book and in response to the many e-mails sent in by readers,
Bob began writing ‘The eBay UK Bulletin’, a weekly e-mail
newsletter sent free to thousands of readers. Bob also has his own
website at www.ebaybulletin.co.uk where you can catch up with
daily life on eBay and follow his eBay career.
Since the publication of his first book, Bob has been invited on to
numerous radio shows to share his expert knowledge and inspire
others to set up eBay businesses:
“As eBay is now a part of life, we were very privileged to broadcast
a programme about it. It’s changed people’s lives completely – it’s
a monster that has grown and grown and has made so much
money, for so many people. Bob was so enthusiastic on-air and
actually taught me a hell of a lot about eBay – and what a great
book he has written too.”
