This book can be interesting even if you have utterly no intention of buying or selling jewelry on eBay. Who would have thought when eBay started up, selling trinkets, that jewelry would rapidly form a multimillion dollar niche? Not a small niche at all.
Gordon goes into the practical details for both buyers and sellers. The book’s paramount theme seems to be how to avoid getting ripped off. Unsurprising, considering the high valued nature of the items. For professional sellers, detecting fake buyers is vital to staying solvent. Whereas real buyers tend not to do this as a profession. So while a buyer might suffer a loss due to a fake seller, it’s not like being put out of business.
But, if you follow her guidelines and use some common sense, you should have good chances of a successful transaction.

In many instances, Gordon seems to be protective of sellers although the first word in the title is “Buyers.” As a buyer, I am frustrated with her biased advice, e.g., leave positive feedback for the seller so that they will do the same for you. A buyer completes his/her responsibilities first, that is, to pay. Once done, the logical step would be for the seller to rate that buyer. Then when the piece of jewelry is received–if it is received–the buyer should rate the seller on whether the piece was sold and shipped with integrity.
