Adam Ginsberg How to Buy Sell and Profit on eBay Book

The following comment was posted by Gayle Armstrong. For the record, let me state that I have never met Gale Armstrong and other than my best selling book, she has never purchased anything from me or my company.

I read his book “how to buy sell and profit on ebay” followed his lead at the back of the book and have been highly disappointed since. I’ve been to his website and all he is trying to do is keep making money. His promises this time is free membership and downloads and when you click on the follow me links it stops at a page asking you to spend another $300 - $400 dollars. No free membership, no downloads, etc. He pushes his Ztemplates in his book but again they don’t exist. Found other places to develop a website and use on Ebay for what his site charges for a month I get a years worth of service. While his book is good his information and his greed to bilk people out of money is much better. Be wary of anything you purchase from him.

So, from Adam Ginsberg (that’s me), what’s the real truth. For starters, it is true that I wrote the best selling eBay book of all time called “How to Buy, Sell & Profit on eBay”. You can get your copy here!

It’s also true that the book promotes my website and other products that I have for sale. That is called self promotion and marketing and I can assure you is not exclusive to the book that I have written. Anyone who purchases and reads my book will get huge value from that book that costs less than $15.

Gayle says that she’s been to my website and “all i try to do is keep making money”. Sort of, but not accurate. I do admit that I run a FOR PROFIT business - not a non profit charitable organization. However, there’s nothing for sale on my website. No eBooks, no software, no memberships. Absolutely nothing. You can’t buy anything at AdamGinsberg.com if you wanted to.

AdamGinsberg.com is an exclusive membership site for students who have purchased our training and software from a live seminar. And, there’s no promise of a free membership mentioned anywhere on the site.

Gayle states that she has “found other places to develop a website and use eBay for what his site charges for a month I get a years worth of service.”. Again, a statement clearly not accurate as my site membership to AdamGinsberg.com doesn’t have a monthly fee. Oh, and how does Gayle know what value is provided at AdamGinsberg.com if she’s not a member? Not a student? Never purchased a training program?

Gayle is correct that in my book I mention software I created called ZTemplates. Unfortunately that product doesn’t exist any longer. The book was published in 2005 and technology has changed over the years. We also made a strategic decision to change the name of the product to a brand that better represented the software. The brand new, updated version of that software is called Template Optimizer.

If you have an Adam Ginsberg complaint, feel free to post it here. I’ll be happy to address it, and answer it with the truth. As stated in my previous post, I agreed with almost everything that customer had to say. In this case, most of what Gayle has to say isn’t accurate.

With freedom of speech online, anyone and everyone has a voice - and I think that’s great. However, it’s time to address commentary this simply inaccurate with the facts and the true. Then, readers can make an informed decision as to who they want to work with, learn from, and do business with.
