Selling your stuff on Amazon - Part 6- Advice for newbies in first post

numberthree

Welcome to the club Nicci,

I think Amazon are being rather slow at the moment updating the open listings so it may be wise to have a look tomorrow (or later this eveing) to edit your listing - I keep looking every half hour or so but 2 I listed this morning still aren't showing! Your books should be available for people to buy on the Marketplace though.

Best wishes - you're hooked already you know!!

Yeah - just gone onto Amazon and my listings have turned up - its only taken them 10 hours!!!!

Now lets hope for some sales!!! It's all gone a little quiet over the last couple of days

Is there a way to get a list of Amazon of the top books to look out for?

Just wondering whether there is stuff to keep my eye out for!

Oh, I think I'm addicted I've just listed 23 things including books, cds, dvds and an old cassette. After eBay all I had left was my bookshelf full of books as I've already sold everything else! :rotfl:

My house will be empty

If you go from Amazons home page and click on books and then on bestsellers all of the top 100 lists are there, fromTHE top 100 at the mo to the top 100 in lots of different categories too - updated every hour supposedly

I think there are similar lists for DVDs etc too.

I buy two sizes. For paperbacks I buy 260 x 180 and 240 x 330 for large books.

Soo, with this 3 for 2 offer at Viking, they told me on the phone, I always buy on the phone - that I could mix up the sizes of jiffys (and ink cartriges as well) so you don't have to have 3 boxes of the same size

That's favouritism AT I had to buy three boxes of each..I also took the tip from the Amazon seller discussion board and phoned them as at the time i purchased the buy two get one free offer wasn't showing on the website.

I have 6 large cardboard boxes now pretendng to be furniture in my storage area!

I love the mail lite envelopes though as they are quite skimpy and are thinner than the ones I had been buying from the 99p shop, so I can often sneak a paperback book in as a large letter if I go to the main PO in town. I even got a hardback novel in as a large letter on Monday, the PO lady in town asked me if it was a large letter, and I didn't want to push my luck so I said I did think it was a bit too fat. She got her gauge out and the book wedged a bit but she tugged it through forcefully and said 'large letter' :T

Well I do spend around £80 per month with them! - all on nectar points though...

I got the impression that anyone could ask for a mixed bundle of 3 for 2's, they didn't care, you just got the cheapest free.
