Apologies if this has been covered, but if I list a book to ship internationally, would it show up on amazon.com or only on the co.uk site?

Just got in from work and checked my emails-first time since yesterday morning. Have sold 5 books!. 2 of those to same person. Unbelievable.

irst thing I did was pasted the author and title into google

It gave me fantastic fiction (good little website) as the first in google rank, this turned up 2 copies, 1 in canada and one in austrailia, both £3.70.

Using the isbn given from FF - 0340108649 i checked amazon to find 1 seller, though amazon have it listed as a 1974 edition by coronet. also the authors details aren't correct, just showing surname. 1 seller for £5. suggest you list under this and correct the amazon listing to show correct publisher/year/author, also include publisher and year in description in case someone changes the listing back to a 1974 coronet.

scratch that about the coronet, there is a 1966 H&S edition on amazon ASIN: B0000CN6FL , they have it listed as a hardback, so make sure you make this clear in description. Currently no other copies for sale, be tempted to list under this at £14.99 or more if you feel lucky, at least this will return better results than the one with the incorrect author details!

This advice helped me to find the equivalent UK edfition of a U.S. book I have - thanks.

I've sold 6 today too - is it a half term effect? ie bored parents/grandparents surfing as a break from the kiddiwinks? Mind you the items sold are rather an eclectic mixture.

I'm not complaining though ... more sales please!

It will only show on the .co.uk site. To list on .com you need to open a seller account on .com and list separately there. You also will need an american bank account and mailing address.

Quick question: does anyone know what's the Amazon postage allowance for VHS tapes? The relevant page is not working properly for me on Amazon...

(We've been given 3 bags of videos by the in-laws to do whatever with. Most are listed at 1p, so I don't think I'll bother with them, but there's a few where I think I could make a profit - if they sell. )

See my other reply. The buyer paid £ 2.75 but you ony received £ 1.43 of it. Not much profit on the postage element which makes 1p videos a bit of a loss.
