    based on my extensive research and wonderful results (have sold 6 books :j :j :j :j :j :j ).

    It seems to greatly increase your chances of selling if a) you have just requested a pay out as you've decide you won't be selling any more that month, or b) you've just sealed all your GM books up in a box as you're selling the house and trying to tidy up!!!!!!!!

    Try it and see if it works for you!!!!!
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    ReaditSwapit is good, altho i have never successfully swapped anything. Either they have crap books, or they deem me to have crap books.

    Wahoo - sold a book!

    Unfortunately it's a thick paperback and sold without P&P, so i doubt i'll make much if anything!

    £50 a month seems impossible. Has anyone come close?

    Has anyone noticed recently that for a lot of books you cannot enter the P&P for certain books? I think it's to do with the ISBN number, certain books are set at £3. Random ISBNs will give you access to the postage costs, while others won't. Last night i tried to list a hardback book, and it just gave me the 'add to list' option, no postage at all. If it sold for £3 i'd make a loss on the postage.

    Is this a recent change?

    yes Ive noticed this - they have stated they are "reviewing" the postage costs - whatever that is meant to mean.

    That will stop me putting on heavy books if the max i can get is £3!
