  • Although I am against this new imposed procedure, the one major benefit would seem to be that if you can't find a book then you can cancel. is this correct?

    Btw Soolin, I have been skulking around this msg board for ages and have finally got round to signing up - thanks so much for your input - it's made a huge difference to me as a fairly new seller.

    If you do cancel the sale can they still leave feedback? If not then its brilliant for those times when you do loose the item :)

  • Yes, I'd love to know this too - not that I'm paranoid about feedback or anything - can hardly bear to look at mine in case it's not good news!

    Mind you, where has all the feedback gone, or is it just me?

    If you cancel a sale the buyer can still leave feedback all you have done is cancel the payment. . If you lose a book, and I'm sure we have all done that (I did a xouple of weeks ago) a polite and very apologetic email to the buyer should stop any negative stars being received, although there is no way of guaranteeing that.

    However, a high rate of cancellation, the seller community boards suggest around 2% (2 sales in evry 100) is enough to get you on special measures on Amazon and a possible suspension, so be careful. When i lose a book I always try to see if I can buy another better copy from elsewhere to ship to the buyer rather than just automatically cancel, even if it costs me money.

    I have sold 2 books in the last 48 hours, after 2 weeks without a single sale. And the 2 weeks before that weren't what you'd call impressive.

    At work I have sold 8 items in 24 hours, mostly videos and 2 brand new toys. No sales at home at all though
