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

Amazon pay the funds to your bank account every 2 weeks (unless you click the 'pay it now' button, it will take around a week for the funds to be clear to use. Unlike paypal you can't use the stored money to pay for something you've bought on Amazon, the money can only be paid out.

Hi mishka - have a look at www.royalmail.com/bfpo and see if that helps

Send it special delivery to the address. Thers is no problem with BFPO addresses apart from the fact it somtimes take ages to reach buyer.

Just send normal by normal BFPO which should cost you only 65p or 90p no need for special delivery.


I think Telic 8 is Iraq.

Wow well done - a £45 sale would make me VERY happy too mind you I don't have any £45 books so its unlikely:D . My whinge and pout from earlier worked and I sold an old college book today for £7 before postage.

I don't have many 1p books listed - just 25 or so and have sold very few. I'm not promerchant so its hardly worth selling them at that price as it doesn't make much after postage but I'm ok for space so will keep them on. I notice some people are still listing videos at 1p, I imagine they'll make a loss even if they are promerchant? Anyone know the average price of posting a video after the recent changes at the PO? I might delist mine if its no longer worth it.

Hope everyone has a good buying/selling weekend
