selling your stuff on Amazon - part 8 - advice for newbies in the first 2 posts

Ive sold a few this weekend... One about quilt making for £15...Each to their own... Went to a booksale yesterday in Birmingham which had been on all week. Yesterday was the last day but they seemed to have most of the 10,000 books they advertised the sale started with! I thought it would be really busy but there was an old lady at the front giving out free tea and another playing the piano - Got quite a few bargains by cross checking them on my phone there and then.

Where's the thread called something like: 'List of books that sell for good prices on amazon...' ?

I have used the search facility, but it brought up nothing....

You have 2 choices.
1) Send as Printed Papers - All you need to do is right Printed Papers in top left corner of package.

2) Send as small packet - You will need to fill out a customs form.

depending on the weight of it is more likely to be a few pence cheaper to send as a Small Packet. It usually is only a couple of pence difference and I usually send as Printed Papers as a couple of pence isn't worth the hassle of filling out the customs form, though it is an easy form to fill in.

Also your return address needs to be in the top Left too.

Just got home from Post office to find a SDN for a £16 Amazon book, and 2 (yes 2!!!) sold emails from Greenmet.

Hurrah...

Just sold a book on Greenmetropolis! Well chuffed as I've had about 30 on there for a couple a months and had sold nothing.

I've only got about 60 books on Amazon but sold nothing for a week which is unusual. Coupled with stress at work and my father being in hospital it's been a bad week. Amazing how the sale of on £4 book can give you an instant 'hit'.

I've sold nothing on Amazon Marketplace since 24th February

In february i sold items on the 2nd, 4th, 5th, 7th, 8th, 10th, 13th, 14th, 17th, 19th, 21st and 24th of February, but now nothing for 9 days

Its probably because I only have 30 items listed at the moment although i'm the cheapest price on all but 4 which are 1p items

Just trying to list my first ever book on Amazon, and where it says "Please verify that this is the exact book you want to sell" - well, the isbn and the ean are the same, and the picture of the book is the same (its quite a distinctive cover, with a lightning bolt down the middle of the front) but it says its published 4 May 1999, and mine is published in 1995. I don't know what to do! Shall I just leave it till I have more experience or what??
