    Blast this, why have Amazon sold a book after I have already sold it elsewhere and withdrawn it from sale, and why did I not get a Sold email.

    I'm really fed up tonight actually, what with this and the return as 'wrong one bought' plus my problem seller on another thread.

    Hi Soo

    Keep your chin up - hopefully you'll have some good sales and happy customers shortly :)

    If it's any consolation, there does seem to be a spate of 'unhappy customers' - there's quite a bit of moaning going on on the Amazon Discussion Board.

    The new layout on Amazon isn't helping - buyers are even less likely to read descriptions - I've had 2 returns where I clearly stated Softback/1st edition but they wanted Hardback/2nd editions.

    I've had 1 cancellation - 'cos I didn't mean to go through the checkout :confused:

    I had 2 3/5's with positive comments - dragged me down to 99% because sales have been slower.

    Amazon do seem to be doing a lot of 'planned maintenance' and having a few 'unplanned events' - possibly not helping with payments, lack of or late SDN's etc

    So, keep smiling, FFM :)

    I've not heard of anyone trying to sell 'codes' before - you could ask on the Amazon Discussion Board http://forums.prosperotechnologies.com/am-Uksllconnect?redirCnt=1

    I have heard that Amazon Auctions (like z-shops) are not very successful - I don't think they are as well known as Ebay.

    AT, I looked back at my listings and the mis sold book was sold 32 minutes after I delisted it (What a very odd co incidence!).

    Still doesn't explain why I never got a sold email though, but I have fully refunded now and grovelled to the buyer. If i get a neg, I get a neg and I'm just not going to worry about it.

    I did sell a tiddler over night so at least I have a small balance in my payments account to go towards the refunded payment.

    Thanks - that explains it, I keep forgetting to look on discussion board.
  • Hi Soo,

    Same thing happened to me too. A book sold twice on Tuesday - when Amazon were doing their maintenance (!) - with 50 mins between sales.

    I have had to send out a grovel email an very quick refund to the second purchaser to say I can't suppy the book because someone else pipped them to it. I just hope they aren't too annoyed! Haven't heard anything back from them.

    I'm running about 450 listings and it sounds as though I have similar type of books to you and I'm running at £61 so far for this 2 week block which finishes next Tuesday - don't think I'll make the £100 but it's a nice thought!!

    Just making sure this stays on page 1!

    I was due my amazon payment this week. I normally expect it on Wednesdays but still nothing - very frustrating grr. I was going to post this as a query but had a quick look back over the last few pages of this thread and see that it's not just me. Small comfort. Anyone got any updates as to what's going on?

    Not a good week had 3 sales and 3 pendings up until this morning 2 of the pendings were for £12 odd, everything else was for small amounts. Got in from work and have another pending this time for £66 :mad:
    I love this board, have "virtually" met so many lovely people, people I am honoured to count as friends.
