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

Tabath - I'd watch the scales VERY closely next time you're in the PO. Know the weight of your parcel and how much it will cost before you go and query it if it seems wrong.

From now on Saturdays are going to be spent scouring charity shops.

It's much better to be earning money this way on a saturday afternoon than spending it - I'm trying to convince my 19 year old daughter but with little success

How's that working out? have you been booting together and both spotted a good book or are you looking in different places?

To be honest its not too bad at the boot sale we started at opposite ends so there would be no arguments. However since we advertised on Freecycle we haven't needed to go, he's just gone to collect another 5 boxes as we don't know the value of anything we just split the boxes and its pot luck, unfortunately last time I got a load of 1p books while he sold 2 of them this morning for £30!

Who wraps and goes to the PO?

Baby Satan is currently washing books with a baby wipe "like ma and da do's" am starting him off young!
I gave him a pile of not so good ones I took of RISI, he's taken to it like a duck to water.

We wrap our own, he does most of the posting. He took 41 down yesterday, he now leaves them with her in the morning and goes back and pays in the afternoon she knows us well now! She is on her own there so she does our parcels between customers!

Don't get excited 6 of my sales 2 of his sales and 33 swaps between us! Would have been lovely if the figures were reversed :rotfl:

Need help again books have arrived have been stored in a garage for years, full of webs and dust :eek: are scrubbing up well but are rather musty smelling. Any advice on how to freshen them up? Was thinking tumble dryer sheets between the pages and putting them in a warm room (if I can find any space!). Will this work? Any other suggestions gratefully received

Sorry if this has been posted before. I just bought some books from the one seller, the total was £2 odd. I have been charged over £20 delivery! I want to cancel but can't see how to? (This is the first time i have bought from a private seller)
Please help.
