Adam Hersh, top eBay broker and Powerseller, delivers

instruction on first LearnKey consumer training title

LearnKey, publisher of hundreds of technical training courses, today announced release of the company's first consumer title, Making Money on eBay, now available on DVD. In Making Money on eBay, top eBay broker Adam Hersh shows how anyone with a little computer knowledge can quickly and easily enter this immense marketplace and master the keys to online auction success.

eBay is the world's largest trading community with more than $40 million in online transactions conducted daily. Over the past four years, Hersh has sold more than 50,000 items on eBay and other auction Web sites. He is the founder of Adam Hersh Auctions (www.adamhersh.com), a New York City auction brokerage that manages on average more than 3,000 online auctions weekly.

Hersh was one of the first appointed eBay trading assistants -- or online auction brokers -- and has sold more items, received more positive comments, and been an eBay member longer than nearly any other trading assistant. He holds a BA in organizational communications from Northeastern University, and is certified in e-commerce and Web marketing.

"The No. 1 question I get asked is, 'What can I sell on eBay to make a profit.' The answer is, it doesn't matter what you sell, because with the knowledge that I teach you in this course, you can sell anything on eBay," Hersh said.

"Making Money on eBay represents a combination of my extensive online auction experience and LearnKey's 16-year track record in developing e-learning courseware. The result is an intensive and easy to understand course that can help almost anyone learn how to profit in the online auction marketplace."

The Making Money on eBay course includes the same success secrets Hersh presents in his day-long seminar now touring the country. Hersh has been interviewed by numerous publications including Smart Money, Business Week, PC Magazine, Popular Science, Money and others.

In Making Money on eBay, Hersh reveals bidding tips, pricing strategies, and how to title, describe and present items to fetch top bids. He also demonstrates effective methods to authenticate items listed for bid and to securely settle transactions, so even an eBay novice can buy and sell with confidence.

Making Money on eBay is a two-DVD set comprising more than two and one-half hours of video-based instruction. The course is available at www.learnkey.com and from authorized resellers for $99.

"This combination of Adam Hersh's online auction expertise, sound instructional design, and DVD delivery is the most effective way to inform and inspire new and experienced eBay users," said LearnKey President David Clemons. "We have seen people use the information in this course to immediately change their lives financially and professionally. Without doubt, online auctions are part of the future of electronic commerce, and Adam Hersh is an excellent instructor for anyone wishing to start or improve an eBay business."
