Apr 13 2010 - The class was very informational. I did want to use a more hands on approach.
Apr 11 2010 - This couple really knows the e-bay business.
Mar 11 2010 - It was great and presented in a way that was easy to understand. I feel so much more confident now and aslo offered to contact him at any time in the future with questions.
Jan 18 2010 - Class provided plenty of useful information, conveyed clearly.
Dec 15 2009 - This class was excellent. I really enjoyed the instructors and their insight into selling on EBay. I look forward to their continued support as I work through the selling process.
Dec 15 2009 - Class size was small which enabled instructor to personalize the instruction to address the questions of the attendees. It would have been better to leave with some reference materials or at least have access to the PowerPoint slides online.
Dec 12 2009 - I am a bit overwhelmed with all that one knows to sell on ebay but our instuctor assured me that he would help me get started and I would find that after the ist time around ,it would quickly fall in place.I'm really anxious to get started on my ist listing and sale.It's a great course.
Oct 30 2009 - Rich & Nila are WONDERFUL instructors. Ebay is fortunate to have them BOTH! I HIGHLY recommend a session with them to EVERYONE! They take the time to focus on their student's specific needs and concerns. Many thanks!
Oct 1 2009 - The instructor was very personable and open to questions, handling them graciously. I have purchased on E-Bay previously, and was most interested in the "selling" info and advice.
Sep 30 2009 - The slides and powerpoint were better once the shades were drawn.
Sep 27 2009 - All questions were answered or a promise to look up and get answer to us.
Sep 27 2009 - I thought the class was very informative. Rick and Nila Siok were execellent instructors.
Sep 27 2009 - Their two great individuals. Glad I met them. They have "Been There-Done That."
Sep 26 2009 - I loved this class. The instructors were knowledgeable and patient with their students. I highly recommend it to the new seller.
May 20 2009 - Instructors very knowledgeable and gave us a lot of common sense info. I didn't like format of slide show to live on line, then back to slide show. I would have preferred all slide show, then go on line. This would have given us an overview first. Plus, we had many problems going live which took up a lot of time.
Apr 28 2009 - We didn't do any exercises (which was why I answered neutral)—probably there wasn't time in our four hour session. Rich and Nila are very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. They made the session fun! But there is SO much information to assimilate!
Apr 26 2009 - Very knowledgeable and experienced instructors. We enjoyed the class.
Apr 26 2009 - The computer operator had problems. There was repetition. Course could've been cut to 3 hours instead of 6. They got off on tangents about personal stories. They allowed a couple audience members to keep asking questions that were already answered or were not applicable. The slides were too small to see. They kept asking each other what to do next. Could be more professional. They are very nice people who are willing to help in the future. Thank you. (I bought the book myself.)
Apr 26 2009 - This was a great class! The instructors were very good and had great knowledge of selling on e-bay. After taking this class, I am confident I can begin selling on e-bay with a good understanding on how to do this. This is a great class for anyone who wants to sell on e-bay!!!!!
Apr 15 2009 - Very practical and useful information - a very pleasant experience.
Apr 6 2009 - It was great to be able to walk through some of the processes like taking the photo and up loading the picture. The class experience was very proficient and worth the experience.
Apr 6 2009 - Instructor Rich Siok was very knowledgeable in teaching this ebay class, and sharing his personal/educational ebay experiences with the class. His wife, Nila, who was his assistant, was also very informative and resourceful on ebay. And she was very proficient with navigating through ebay webpages while Rich was teaching. Rich and Nila Siok team was very effective and energized in teaching the ebay class, and I have learned a lot about ebay in just one session.
Apr 4 2009 - I thoroughly enjoyed both instructors' Rich Siok and his wife Laiyla teaching the course. Both of them were wonderful, and a pleasure to meet. They answered every question I had and took their time to be thorough. I am glad I took this class and will most likely get together with their ebay group when I can.

May 14 2007 - Rich is well informed, answered all questions and gave great examples to illustrate each point. This was a great experience!
Apr 15 2007 - I think that this class was absolutely wonderful. The instructors couldn't have been better. They were so informative, answered all our questions and gave us many ideas, not only on how to begin but what to think about selling. Prior to this class I had only purchased a few items on ebay and had thought about selling on it but was extremely hesitant because I didn't know how to begin. Now I feel confident that this is a great move for my husband and me and I can't wait to start. We also purchased the book that gives you reinforcement because it follows the slide show so we have it to use as a reference and the instructors have let us know that we can contact them also. If they become certified to offer an advanced ebay class, we've already told them to let us know and we'll sign up.
