Selling Your Stuff on Amazon Part 12 - Advice for newbies in first two posts

Christina, as it hasn't sold I would just relist it and see if it gets closed again.

Perhaps it was just a 'glitch'.

FFM. it a brand new Cd and still sealed and was originally listed as new. However when I try and list it now as new - that option is not showing - only used as new etc.

That explains it then. It will have been automatically closed by Amazon - I'm not sure if this means that it is due for a re-release - I have heard of this before. It may also mean that they have restricted the sale of this item as 'new' to 'selected' sellers.

I had this recently as well, I didn't know until I started delisting some books and found that some weren't actually still listed (no wonder they didn't sell!). It looks like they did something to a catalogue entry at some point and for some reason it closed down the items listed.

I've also come across a few more where other sellers have changed the listing so the book I originally listed doesn't now match the catalogue entry. One of them was a standard hardback book and it has been changed to a large print edition and I sold it, I explained to the buyer what has happened and he said to send the book anyway and i have promised a full refund if the print is not suitable. The daft thing is that book has a correct catalogue entry for large print with a different ISBN so why someone altered the standard hardback edition to large print I don't know.

Hi, I have a load of Usborne Children's Books which I need to sell. I was an Usborne Reprenstative but it hasn't worked out as my area is saturated with organisers so now I need to sell these books as they are just sitting on top of my wardrobe!! Is Amazon the best place to sell them or would I be better off on ebay or somewhere else?
thanks in advance

Check the completed listings on ebay and also the current listings on Amazon. Some Usborne books especially older ones that are out of print can do very well, the more recent ones are unfortunately ten a penny and probably worth selling only as a job lot.

Thanks for your advice, I was trying to avoid selling them as a job lot purely because of the weight of them and the postage costs!! But I need shot of them so I suppose any money for them is better than no money and them sitting on top of my wardrobe!!!

Do your search first on ebay and Amazon, you never know what you might have.

Hi. Not sure what is happening with Amazon lately. Realised that I hadn't had any emails this year reminding me to relist books after 60 days. Checked my stock and found at least 2 dozen books that were no longer listed. Don't know if it is just me but I will certainly keep an eye on my stock now.

I haven't had any for ages either - has anyone else experienced this problem before?
