soolin

All my stuff goes 2nd class with no tracking and I've ha dno complaints. I do protect myself with special delivery though where the item is over £39.

INSPIRED

Many thanks for the reassurance. I won't make that mistake again!

I am still feeling my way with Amazon:(

How are sales for everyone/ Mine have really taken off this week, I've sold 11 since Monday.

Im hoping things are on the up tho!

Sales have picked up on my work one - about 14 in the last week

Home one I have sold two this week too - I have about 100 items listed

I've sold another 2 tonight so that's 13 since Monday which is very good for me. I have about 1200 currently listed.

However, I'm just sitting here going through a mixed lot of CDs i bought (didn't cost me a great deal luckily) all are mint and pristine but alas all are printed with the words 'promo only not for resale' arghhh. Am I allowed to give them to a charity shop or shall I sneakily drop them in the Oxfam 'book' dump next time i am passing and let them worry about them?

JesaRose

You should still be able to give them to a charity shop soolin, perhaps one of the smaller ones who can claim their ignorance if they get caught selling them

Promo copies of vinyl is saleable as it makes it collectable. Can you not sell them on eBay? You probably know the rules better than me but I have seen some on there before. I have a lot of promo stuff from an old collection and people are selling the stuff I have

I've had eight listed for a couple of weeks. No sales. Not that surprised either :cool:

I'm currently engaged in a price war on one of my books, keep reducing it until it's the cheapest only for the other guy to set it a penny lower.

All very amusing.

They use autopricing software, always set your price 1p above theirs.

Aha.. Hmm.. I thought they might.

I'm being outwitted by a machine!!
