About this title

Synopsis

If you’ve surfed the Web more than once, you’ve probably visited Amazon.com. Originally you may have gone there searching for books, but Amazon.com is so much more than a bookstore. The author of Amazon.com For DummiesŪ, who has been involved with the site from its beginnings, describes it as a shopping mall/home improvement store/bazaar/travel agency/newsstand/car lot, but most importantly, a community of buyers and sellers—people like you.

Countless opportunities exist for those who join this community, and Amazon.com For DummiesŪ gives you a smorgasbord sampling of what they are and how to take advantage of every one. For example, you can

• Set up an account and buy things
• Bid on an auction
• Sell your items
• Personalize your shopping experience
• Open your own online “store”
• Join the Amazon.com community

Written by Mara Friedman, who has held several positions with Amazon.com including marketing communications manager, Amazon.com For DummiesŪ takes you from your first venture into the Amazon all the way to making money from your Amazon.com experience. Discover how to
