selling your stuff on Amazon - part 5

apprentice_tycoon

Hi Divvyman - welcome to the thread - if I've understood you correctly you say that your rivals books are priced so low that if you compete with their prices won't make a profit when the postage is taken into consideration?

I wonder if they've looked into it properly like you have? If it was me I'd be tempted to email the lowest 2 or 3 and point out to them that the postage for this particular book will be £7.70, did they realise that when the book sells they will be out of pocket?

When they've taken this on board they may withdraw their book or price it realistically - then you go back and list yours when the playing field is level and as Kaminari says go for a knock out description

If you decide that contacting the deluded cheapo sellers is a good idea but you've no feedback so you won't come over as a wise old seller putting the newbies straight come back and ask on here we'll do it for you.

i have just had my best sale , a book for £25 :j so i am one happy bunny
not had a sale for 10 days

the strange thing is last night i was going to do the holiday setting thingy, as i go away on monday , but got distracted as you do , really glad i didnt do it now :rotfl:

quick question , should i send the book recorded delivery , because of the value ?

Hi dawn - well done you (and Kaminari), I haven't had a sale over £10 for ages..the book is covered for £32 with normal post, it might be worth Recorded though and you'll know for certain that he's got it

I just sold another video, this one was for £2.11 so won't make much but every little helps.

well after a busy weekend things here in seabiscuitland have been very slow both on amazon and my new ebay trial shop - will wait til the end of my free trial to see if its worth keeping it open (need to sell more than £6 a month with it to be viable)

seabiscuit - watch that date closely, ebay don't email you and say that they are renewing your shop for the next month, they sit veeeerrrryyyy quiet and hope that you'll forget and carry on.
