I hope Amazon bollock 'em.

If they get lots of negative feedback it will give them an order defect rate but it's a percentage of total orders so if they are a very large seller it probably won't affect them much.

You beat me to it, at least in terms of the update. At the end of the day, it was a mistake and I certainly don't bear them any grudge. After all, we've all made mistakes, well I have anyway.:(

It was fun while it lasted but I guess that it proves the old adage 'If it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is'.

I don't mean them any harm. I'm a bit disappointed, but as you say it really was too good to be true.

The only thing I would say is that I'm a marketplace seller / eBay powerseller, and I walk a daily tightrope keeping my 100% feedback - if I cancelled even 3 or 4 orders it would impact on my profile.

Believe it or not I used to know the man behind these 2 firms. He's had a very long and interesting career in the book trade.

Sounds interesting!!;) Care to share?

Not on here - sorry. Nothing too controversial really, but a lot of what I know of his activities is second hand, so I'd hesitate to put it into print.
