selling your stuff on Amazon - part 9 - advice for newbies in the first 2 posts

I just sold a book! I must be averaging about 2/3 a month, which means I make about £5/6 a month. I calculate that by the year 3395 I'll be a MILLIONAIRE!

well done to you both!

At the weekend I sold a small fairly rare childrens book to a lady about 200 miles from me, from my huge but decreasing collection of childrens books.

Anyway - she just emailed to say that it had arrived and that she'd been looking for it for ages as she had had one when she was little - and she had opened it and her name was inside!!!! :shocked:

Wow!

I think you should offer this extraordinary story to a magazine. Everyone would enjoy reading about it, and they'd pay you something.

OMG, Spooky!

I would have sent her a polite but firm note asking her to refrain from doing this in future as it de-values books

that is such a fantastic story - it beats any JR Hartley book sale, I love it!

must admit, that email is DEFINITELY archived!! Gives me a great buzz to have been - albeit unwittingly - involved

And the other weird thing is I rarely get emails about books etc and the shipment notifications - but today I have had 4 one after the other - one telling me how much he and his wife are looking forward to showing their grandkids the watch with mother video they just bought - and telling me their favourites!

Then again I did get a glowing feedback - and a 4/5 for it

rough with the smooth huh?

I've just had a 1 out of 5 feedback for non arrival of two books - one from me but one from someone else - grr!

Hasve sent refund, and polite email asking that feedback be withdrawn and disputes are correct place! Will amazon remove it if she doesn't?

thanks
