Amazon marketplace

Ames

Hi all,

Someone tonight told me that charities sell on Amazon and you can get some really good book bargains. But I can't for the life of me find out how to search for their items! I want to search for a particular charity's books, but it seems the only way I can do it is if I stumble across one of theirs listed in the 'new and used' bit, which would take hours to find. Surely there's an easier way?!

Weeeellll some charities do indeed sell in Marketplace lisitng items alongside individual sellers and mega listers etc so there's no guarantee their books are any cheaper just cos they are a charity. AFAIK the only way you could do what you are asking is if you know the charities seller name you can look up their storefront and thus check out what they have for sale. If they are lisitng many thousands of items [forget how many] then their storefront isn't browseable. Also to be honest its not a great way of finding anything and is a tedious way to search - Amazon doesn't make it easy to do what you want to do in your question. If you want to support a charity then there must be an easier way!

If you can guess the username then you could put it at the end of this link (you will need to copy-paste it though, as it will lead to a the homepage if left blank) http://www.amazon.co.uk/shops/

Ah thanks, I'll stick to going into the actual shops!

That will probably be less painful and you won't have to pay P&P

Charities get no breaks with the postage charges so the minimum charge of any seller, charity or not will be £2.76 for a book.

I have competed against some charity listings before now, they rarely tend to be the cheapest though as I think they work oon the basis that people may pay a few pence more because they are a charity.

Why not ask the charity? Email, phone, etc. I'm sure they'd gladly provide a link.
