Ok thanks

Tried the barcode thing on ebay and quite a well know cd wasn't even recognised!!

Do Amazon charge a fee like ebay for selling (i would think so?) its just ive never used Amazon for selling before?

Does it have advantages to eBay?

Thanks:D

You don't pay to list on Amazon but the selling fees can be dearer than ebay in many cases. You can see what you would get by going through the 'sell your item' route but before you confirm it shows your net proceeds including postage.

From Amazon's website...

Individuals selling at Marketplace pay a GBP 0.86 per item completion fee, plus a closing fee of 17.25% of the sales price (11.5% for Electronics & Photo items) for each item sold.

I've sold the odd cd on Amazon and quite a few books and DVDs (had a massive clearout recently of lots of unwanted stuff after moving house!). I've found it a lot easier to sell than on Ebay but Amazon dictate the amount you get for postage. I've found that this quite often doesn't cover my costs to wrap and post so I always try and estimate this and then encorporate the extra it will cost me to post into the selling price. If you're only selling CDs and CD singles then hopefully this wouldn't be too much depending on whether you're sending it recorded/special delivery or just plain 1st/2nd class.

I got a quote for a few cds on music magpie - they really do offer only pennies. Think the highest was about 30p.

I was short of cash a while ago so I decided to check music magpie for my entire CD collection, they offered me £11.20 for the lot, and I had tonnes of CDs still with original price stickers on for the likes of £10 etc, totally not worth it.

I have sold sons computer games and CDs on Amazon - as said - check the going rate for each one before listing - sometimes its not worth it.
Also theya re light enough to post - I got caught out selling books as they cost more than the posatge allocated - so was at a lose!

PLAY does do them too I think.
