Video Professor, a Denver-based educational company, launched their new eBay tutorial lesson at the CMA Celebrity Showcase to show country stars and their fans, just how easy it is to buy and sell their favorite country memorabilia on eBay.

"Country stars connect with their fans like no others," says John W. Scherer, CEO and Founder of Video Professor, Inc. "And they absolutely love to collect anything and everything connected to their favorite artists. eBay is a great way to do just that and our new eBay tutorial will take you step by step to learn how to buy and sell on eBay."

And just like all Video Professor lessons, the company's proven "What you see is what you do" learning method, will have you up and using eBay at your own pace and your own schedule. No complicated manuals, no difficult to schedule classes, just quick and easy lessons that produce results.

When presented with Video Professor's newest learning lesson, How to Buy and Sell on eBay, Martina McBride smiled and exclaimed, "Oh, I need to give this to my brother Marty!" "He puts all my memorabilia on there and sells it!"

"This will really come in handy," said a smiling Steve King [master of the keyboards for the Keith Urban Band]. "I've been wanting to learn this!" Other Country Music legends such as Lee Ann Womack, Big & Rich, Montgomery & Gentry, Carrie Underwood and Brad Paisley all stopped by the Product Showcase Room this weekend as well, where they too smiled and enjoyed the uniqueness of the Video Professor product display.

"Oh, I love that guy," exclaimed Faith Hill's band leader Jimmy Nichols, referring to Video Professor CEO and Founder John W. Scherer. "I see him all the time on TV!" Then, in his best product-pitch style, he mimicked, "Try my product! Try my product!," the popular slogan of the Video Professor.

"I actually have (the Video Professor) Photoshop tutorial already," explained Bobby Boyd (lead singer of the Bobby Boyd Band). In fact, in addition to the new eBay lesson, many of the stars backstage picked up the Photoshop lesson as well. Stars from Vinny Kuliah to Rachael Warwick chose from more than 40 other titles Video Professor had on display at this star-studded showcase.

And as so many country stars and their backup musicians spend a lot of time on their tour busses and in hotel rooms, they were excited to hear about VP Online, where you can stream lessons direct to your computer. It's a great way for country stars, and country fans to learn online, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

"VP Online is the perfect way to learn for folks with the busiest schedules," says Scherer. "Whether you're on your way to your next concert or your next meeting, VP Online is your round the clock source for computer lessons."

With over 100,000 new users jumping on eBay everyday, country music legends and everyday users alike, the new Video Professor eBay tutorial is sure to help buyers and sellers navigate and master the world's largest online auction site!
