    Bought and listed!

    If it sells, all power to this forum, where I first heard about it being sought after!

    Hi everyone,

    I'm relatively new to amazon selling, only sold about 45 things. How many do you all have listed to sell every day? And do you all buy the big pallet loads of 1500 books to sell?
    I would understand if no one wanted to answer, it being your business' and all :)

    I currently have 1420 item listed and am selling around 50 a month. However I list new things at least 4 days a week and I delist older books once they hit 1p and the rnaking falls.

    Once you sell more than 30 items a month you need to look to go to pro merchant selling as that is the break even point.

    I have never bought a pallet of books as I don't have storage for them while I list, I buy in smaller amounts so I don't have to store huge amounts or have them sitting on my drive for weeks.

    Thanks for the reply
    I do love it when I get the SDN email, but not sure whether I want to spend all my time listing things :)
    Maybe I'll have to buy a few books and see how I feel :)

    There are adverts on the Amazon selling boards but it is also possible to buy pallets on ebay.

    Only sold 2 items over the past 2-3 weeks. Then today, I get a SDN email, & i've sold a book for £155. By the time Amazon take their whack, I'll still get about £130. Thought it would take longer to sell (been listed since Feb this year) :j:j Made my afternoon.
