Cat72

Thanks that was in the lines of what I was thinking of , just didnt know if it was against amazons policies or equity.

I am sad...

...why you ask?

Because I have just activated my holiday settings on amazon and ebay - therefore no more sales for me for a week...boo hoo!

Apprentice - I would be the riskier kind as I have only just activated my settings and I go on hols tomorrow morning...livin' on the edge...! Didn't get any sales today though so not really worth it.

I am not really that sad tho coz I am going on a cruise and am very excited, just wish I could still make money while I am away.

I've had a few double sales and just refund the second lot of postage. I only sell items over £1 and if i did sell items for 1p i would rethink the refunding of the second amount.

I've just had my payment come through, and it was for £8!

The 86p will start coming off shortly after upgrading your account

A big THANK YOU for everyones help with this. After a few harsh emails to Amazon I have sorted the problem.

My storefront is complete now. Shows all my listings and ive even put custom links to search for catagroies.

The 86p has now started coming off.#

Zshops are only for items no in the catalogue. Any items listed at marketplace will also go jointly as zsop items, BUT only items listed after converting. The 200 I have listed already havnt.

So all in all im sorted and hopefully made myself more attractive to buyers. I even have a picture logo and things.

thanks once again. If anyone needs some tips post them

Please tell me about Shops, storefront etc - how do I do this?? I am just listing books at present and they are going quite well just now but would a shop help - sometimes I would like to let a buyer know I have other relevant boosk - like I bought an entire courseworth of books and if anyone wants one then chances are they will be interested in the rest. Any help very gratefully received. Apologies if the info is on here somewhere - I don't know where to find it.

Thanks!!

You don't sound too pleased juno, do you need to edit your listings or buy more in? hopefully it will be better next time.

Look on the bright side juno. Before I stopped my pro merchant sub, I once got the email telling me I owed them!

Ive just checked my feedback score and even though ive sold around 20 books now ive only got 6 feedback and one of them gave me 4 out of 5 for "being a bit pricey ?"

6 feedbacks from 20 sales is quite high on Amazon. I only average about 10% so 2 would be normal out of 20. The feedback system doesnt work the same as Ebay.

Sorry about your 4 out of 5 but that is quite common as well.

Yeah ive been lucky so far, just surprised that someone felt it was pricey as i always list every minor flaw and most of the time as im not doing it for profit i sell at the lowest price.
