Is creating ebay layouts and selling them online legal?

Non Beginner Books On Ebay?

• What are the best books about Ebay? Preferably books that assume an intermediate knowledge of the site, i.e. I'll buy the Dummies book and give it a go if that's really what is highly recommended, but I'm already selling 4 figures a month on the site, and hoping to ramp that up. What I'm having trouble with is workflow, the ins and outs of different storefront tiers and fee structures, and how to list things as quickly as possible without sacrificing listing quality. Probably other things as well, those come to mind first. I've started using Garage Sale and I see a lot of potential with that, but it took me hours of research just to decide on using that as a listing tool. I'd like to read a book that starts where I am at instead of creating an account, how to search, etc. Big bonus if a book covers how to take good pictures, i.e. a quick overview on lighting and cameras and that sort of thing. Creating a dedicated photo area in an office. I don't need my images to be perfect, but I'm struggling with this pretty badly right now. eBooks are fine, I don't really care if the book is useful. I'd also take blog and website suggestions if anyone has any on the topic.

  I am a pretty part-time part-timer, but have been for fifteen years so am not really a voracious consumer of how-to at this point -- but http://www.skipmcgrath.com/ strikes me as a high signal low noise source of eBay expertise. I subscribe to the newsletter and find it interesting even though I I hate sales-y stuff (I like finding, buying, and restoring; offloading is a nuisance I do as discreetly and infrequently as possible). He generally assumes his audience is already familiar with the basics.
