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

beg to differ Mr Amazombie!!!

In my last booklet 'Packaging and Warehouse Supplies' there is the Mail Lite offer of buy 2 get one free on the front page, it ends on the 4th feb 2007

Not sure about everyone else but I'm getting lots of lost parcels, some over a month ago where the buyers have just contacted me now!
Same with my Ebay parcels, I've been selling for over two years and have only had about 3 lost parcels.

Not sure what to do, I've refunded one buyer immedaitely and asked for their phone number so I can claim and contacted Royal Mail, luckily my local Post Office gives me seperate receipt for each parcel which can act as a proof of postage as opposed to my main Post Office which provides one final receipt and insists anything not in a Brown envelope is a packet even if it can go through the large letter slot!

ahh but you said if you bought 2 you could get any other size free whereas I think the latest offer is that they all must be of the same size?

Thats the finished offer I was referring to :rotfl:

I wonder if this is just a cruel glitch, there was the couple of posts a week ago by g-man, he lost a few items too.

Hmmm be interesting to know if Sara & g-man are in the same area. When I lived down South there were at times major problems in the Royal Mail with stuff going missing and being stolen from sorting offices. They were taking on a lot of temporary staff and agency staffand sometimes not even checking references! May be different now I guess as there were some exposes [spelling?] on TV. I had a new replacement credit card go missing in the sorting office and it was used to the tune of several thousand pounds. I obviously wasn't liable but it was very time consuming to sort out and disruptive. Wonder how it will go with temporary staff and the Xmas period

When you sell something on Amazon do the funds tranfer to your bank account immediately, or is there a middle system like paypal in place where you have to transfer the balance yourself?

Thankyou
