UCE (spam) - The Get Rich Via eBay Come-on

At least four or five times a day I get an e-mail promising that I can get rich from eBay if I'll buy a book, a CD, a video, etc. Now I suppose that there are some good hints in some of these, if the spammer actually delivers anything once you send in your money. But the real question is just how many people are going to make enough money at eBay to quit their jobs? And if the folks who want to sell you the book or coaching package are making so much money from eBay, why are they trying to get your money?

Well the truth is that it is more profitable to send tens of thousands of e-mails out and sell a book of hints than it is to really work eBay and make a fortune there. And most likely the people most likely to profit by your purchase of a coaching kit are the spammers who will keep flooding others with this offer week after week.

Now if you really do want to learn how to use eBay to make money, do you really need to answer a spam e-mail to get the scoop? Nope. You need instead to go visit:

http://pages.ebay.com/sitemap.html?ssPageName=h:h:smap:US

where you'll find loads of links to information direct from eBay on how to sell and buy. And eBay offers its own courses online for a lot less than the coaching kits.

Remember spammers stay in business when you click on spam e-mails and buy something.
