    Things are looking up! Sold 9 books since Saturday, I may hit my pro merchant target yet! Very unlikely though as I need to sell another 12 by the 5th! And I don't have very many listed!
    Anyone managed to get hold of the buyer waiting lists yet? Still not working for me.
    I love this board, have "virtually" met so many lovely people, people I am honoured to count as friends.

    You don't have to be a pro merchant to sell and if you don't cover your pro fees why not opt out for a while until you have more stock?

    Its the buyer waiting lists Soo, make more money off that than from stock, although the darned thing has not worked for a week! Have had another sale tonight though so thats 19 since I went Pro-Merchant. However the high value sales have come from sourcing off the lists rather than my meagre stock! So in that respect it has been worth it, but will not hit 30 sales for the month I don't think.

    I might be wrong but do you actually have to do a Pro Merchant to see what people are looking for because I'm not Pro Merchant at home BUT I can download the Pre-Order Reports. I cannot do it either right now though but last week it was working for me

    Last time I was a pro-merchant and I cancelled I could still access the lists, haven't tried yet though as have not been a pro for long, so have not cancelled and tried.
    Is nothing on the seller boards anbout it not working but it is still not working for me.

    Hi All

    I have recently started to sell on Amazon again, and an item has recently been sold, but everything has all changed since I last sold anything. I have read the notes that if I do not confirm that I have dispatched the item on Amazon I will not get paid, but I cant seem to find that page anywhere on my sellers account, can anyone help?? Also, I want to confirm with the buyer that they have read my notes and still happy to continue with the purchase, because in the past the seller had not read the notes and wanted a full refund including postage and packaging and I dont want to be in the same situation again.

    TIA

    Also, I cant find my account to check if I have been paid either, I tend to do this as in the past I use to get a lot fake emails saying items have been sold and told to ship out to mainly countries like USA and Africa,
  • I have sold 4 things to a buyer yesterday , but it comes as one order. Do I send it in one packedge, which would take me over the limit should I need to claim. I would prefere to send them individualy, but not sure if I can do that.
    Any advise?
    Many thanks

    You can do it however you want. Personally I would divide into lots that are below the £39 loss exemption or if the items are very light send them all together but via special delivery.

  • Thank you, would you refund the buyer the postage as the original postage comes to £10. What would happen if they change their mind and wanted to send one of the item back. How would you refund that?
    I am too paranoid I know.
