Just copy and paste it into a word doc and stretch the page or shrink the text until its more readable. Mine always opens in text format

Have sold 34 books since 10th of November (pro-merchant subscription date!), definitely covered my fees this month with nearly 3 weeks left to go (not bad considering I only have 300 listed).
Sold a biggy today £50, Eighteenth-Century British Erotica: Pt. II [Illustrated] [Hardcover] by Pettit, I only had 1 volume (which was volume 5), if you can get hold of all five is worth over £200, it came out of my last 1000 books ebay purchases which cost me £103 so am very pleased as it has already covered almost half.
Buyer waiting lists working for me today too, at long last!!:T

How is this for feedback! 3 out of 5, "book arrived quickly as described, I didn't enjoy the book although it is the one I asked for".
Appears she rated on book contents rather than service!!!

Yes, I have suffered from a similar rating. Thankfully just about everyone else has given me a 5 rating with the very occasional 4.
Some folk just cant be pleased !

What a fool! I got an idiot with a 3 this week saying "just a little packet, I thought it was a box"

The first part of the description read "Small bag of lego"

I don't sell on Amazon but do on Ebay (c500 items per month). Is there any discount on the sold listing fee of 17.25%? That seems a little steep to me, or am I missing something obvious.

The only discount available on Amazon is the 86p per book saving if you pay a pro merchant fee.

I'm a bit fed up with Amazon at the moment.

I have found a source of a popular book, one of these things I can make a good profit on now but it will die off completely come Christmas. I bought four copies, sold two and had two go pending. I emailed Amazon and asked them whether they could sort out the pendings ASAP as I can't afford to wait 10 days for these to be relisted and all I get back is the generic email that they are endeavouring to get payment from the buyer and not to ship until they confirm they have funds blah blah blah. Previously i have waited up to 10 -12 days for pendings to be relisted and in 12 days my holiday settings will be on as I am going away so will miss my market.

I could buy more of these books but they are not cheap and i don't want more copies to just go pending and get stuck with them after Christmas.

Then I buy the new JR Ward book as a pre order, they change the dates on me twice then eventually ship on the 19th and book hs not arrived. I asked them how long I have to wait until the book is officially 'lost' and they say I can't even start a refund request until 7th December! If that was a marketplace seller they would have allowed me to start a claim in a week, but because it is them I have to wait ages.

Feeling gloomy now.

I am utterly fed up with pendings too. They are having a seriously funny turn.

They just sit there and do nothing, the seller boards are suggesting that some sellers have had stuff blocked for almost 3 weeks which is ridiculous.
