I use Mr Muscle Window Cleaner which is brilliant (mentioned before on here) If really stubborn I use "de-solvit" but beware with this - it is very powerful

Soo- send the selling fairy over here for a bit could you???? things are SOOOOo quiet here.....

What kind of "books" are they?

He's been away so long I'm keeping him for a while :rotfl:

I had previously read one of those 'urban myth' style stories on Amazon that if you switch your listings off and then on again you can trigger sales..so I did try that and it seemed to work.

If you mean this one from Lakeland Limited I'd agree, the bottle is quite big so it lasts for ages, it's good for all sorts of sticker residue

Hello everyone - I hesitate to say it in case I jinx sales but been doing ok - had 6 decent sales in the last 7 days which is very good for me [150ish listed].

I have a question can't quite work this out though its prob v obvious. I sold a Star Trek book , I've got quite a few more listed [I'm selling them for my niece alright - she inherited a loftful when she moved house].

I'd thought of emailing the buyer the usual confirmation of posting and adding in a bit about having more for sale in case he's interested. My questions are;

1. Is it against any Amazon policy to do that?

2. How do I find out what the link to all of my listings is - presuming there is one so's I can add it into the email?

Hope sales improve for everyone - BTW Soolin, I always think of the selling fairy as a 'she'

Thanks
Teapot

I tried to dropship lots of electrical products and amazon won't let me access my account until I provide invoices for them. Can anyone help me!?

Drop Shipping is not permitted on amazon and prohibited under the Participation agreement you will have agreed to when you signed up to sell.

Some people do get away with a low level of drop-shipping, but if caught out they may also risk account suspension/investigation.

Some sellers on amazon do seem to have written permission to drop-ship but this is far from the norm.

I use good old fashioned lighter fluid, though not recommended for use without adult supervision!

Also, tesco's furniture polish is very good for removing stickers complete with sticky stuff, gives the book a nice fresh smell too!
