selling your stuff on Amazon...part three...
Comments

I sold my first item on Amazon a couple of days ago; it was one of six I listed. It was frankly the one I least expected to sell, hence I made it very cheap.
Anyway, as the guide listed in the first thread, I put 'same day dispatch' in my comments, which of course led to a mad rush to get to the post office after work when the order was placed at 3:30pm, as well as having to spend 50p on a jiffy bag because I didn't have time to wrap it properly.
Since then I have changed my comments to '24hr dispatch'. In the experience of people here, will that make a difference? I haven't sold anything since.'Everyone loves to read but it can be a real nuisance when you lose your place. Here's a solution. When you finish reading a page, just tear it out. You'll save money on bookmarks too!' -- Amanda's Handy Hints, Amanda Keller. :cool:0 -
Hi grimelda - well done on your first sale.
Same day dispatch is hard to achieve if you are not at home all day.
I wouldn't have thought that 24 hour dispatch is any hinderance it still sounds as if you are willing to move quickly0 -

The quickest I have delivered a book is under 1 hour from purchase! I happened to look at my account, saw that a sale had just gone through, saw that the buyer lived in the same town as me and was actually about half a mile away. So I got on my bike and went round there and then. The buyer left me a very nice feedback too.I'm sorry but I'm not Mike!0 -
Well, just sold two more right before lunch so I guess it didn't make a difference after all.
Gives me an excuse to use this emoticon for the first time: :j
I was just about to go to lunch when I thought 'hm, should check my emails' and got the splendid 'item sold, dispatch now' message. By the time I finished wrapping that one, another had come in.
I love this.'Everyone loves to read but it can be a real nuisance when you lose your place. Here's a solution. When you finish reading a page, just tear it out. You'll save money on bookmarks too!' -- Amanda's Handy Hints, Amanda Keller. :cool:0 -

Us chatterboxes AT? never...........
Despite selling very little in the past fortnight I still managed to get over £80 transferred from Amazon on Monday. I obviously aim for quality rather than quantity , but I wouldn't mind a few more sales.
