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

It seems having a whinge works - I've sold three in two days :-)

Not pots of money, around £2.50 profit on each, but every little helps.

I am still worried about those "closed" ones. I hope they weren't sold but I just hadn't had the emails. Looks bad. Presumably I will find out if someone complains.

i bought a book today and there is only one copy of it selling on amazon, for 22.50. I have tryed bookfinder.com and the only one it finds is the one listed on amazon and for some reason the last digit of the isbn is the letter x lol

it doesn't seem like a popular book either so i think i'll list it for about 10?

If you haven't already have a look at your transactions. Go to - my account, then seller account, then on the left side amazon payments account and billing history - then transactions. If you've been paid for the books that closed you can maybe step in before you get a complaint and neg feedback, just explain that amazon were having problems recently with emails (it's true) and it might all be OK.

Will do, thanks.

Well, the whinge worked last time I tried it (a week ago). I sold two books within the following two days. No more since then. However, as I only have eight open listings I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

I am going to go out on a book hunt tomorrow and scout out a new area for good charity shops. Most areas of London, though, I find to have pretty slim pickings (and expensive pickings, too!).

That's quite common. It's just because "10" has 2 figures so it wouldn't fit, so they decided to use the roman "X" for 10 instead. It doesn't mean that the book is special

Just sold another four books.

Someone is getting a bargain of three books that are hardback for a paperback price - but they are book club editions.

Constantly trotting to the post office.lol:j

Aaaaargh :-(
I took your advice apprentice tycoon anbd, sure enough the books had been sold - but nothing from Amazon.
My first three books as well.
The problem is, two of them have been sold a second time and I've posted them.

So, three emails - one to a buyer who hasn't received their book yet, telling them it will be posted in the morning and two grovelling and refunding them.

I suppose I'll have to take any bad feedback on the chin :-(

One thing, we should all remember - I certainly will - is to check our transactions regularly and not rely on Amazon emailling us.

The whinge worked! I just sold a book, one of the very first I ever put up and it has been relisted twice already.
