    They can sit on Green Met for a while unless its a recent release so its probably not best if you want to get rid of them quick. Have you got a second hand bookshop nearby which you could sell them to?

  • Hi all - I've been lurking here for a couple of days now and have decided to start selling. Greenmetropolis looked the easiest for standard paperbacks and I listed my first book with no problem but when I tried to list a second one - which is a new one out and I had to type a short synopsis of it - that wasn't the problem !
    After typing this there was a message saying This book is not entitled to a postage payment as it's categorised as a standard sized book. If this is not correct, then please contact Customer Support before adding this book for sale.

    Does this mean that I will not be paid for posting the book on to any buyer ??

    Help please before I press the list button

    I'm pretty certain that all it means is you cannot add an extra amount onto the normal £3 sale price towards postage. So when the book sells you will get £3 and have to pay postage out of that, which should be £1.85 if it is a standard sized book as they say.

    Usually there is an option to add a little more on to cover some postage but this is usually only supposed to be used for heavier books

    I always want to look in skips mrscmr - its completely normal. Well, thats what I tell myself anyway:rotfl:

    5 listings done this evening so far:j
