Why don't people stick heavy books in an Ebay shop and fix their own postage, then just wait for the right buyer? Even with gallery it's only 6p a month per book? (Have I got me facts straight?)

Well....

Ebay shops are expensive, and under-exposed these days
Ebay have a habit of throwing the 'book' at anyone with what looks like high postage (heavy hardback books, anyone?)

I prefer to put my huge unpopular tomes on greenmetropolis Sales have actually picked up for me there lately :j

not happy....:mad:

she left me 3 out of 10.. because i would not send the book out next day delivery... before she paid me for it....

she expected me to post out the book for next day delivery... and she was going to put a cheque in the post to me ....for the diff.....i have learned ...when it comes to money trust no one ....

oh well........it was bound to happen.. like ebay..... after having an unblemished feedback ... i get 2 twonks..... one left neg... and one left neutral... becuase they were confused.....

these things are sent to try us....

Just recently I have been looking more at the ranking of books and the rank does really affect how I price my books and whether I bother listing them. Last week I got a lot of cookery books, weighed quite a bit but very high in the ranks, most of them 6000 or less, and I've sold 3 so far in a week. Due to the cost I'm only making about £2 a go profit, but the quick turnover makes it useful to up my sales.

I'm fascinated by ranking actually, came across this one today:

Evil Star (Power of Five) (Paperback) isbn 1844286207 , currently only 231 in books but still selling at £1.37 used. This is the sort of book you are likely to pick up at a car boot or school fare as someone will have bought it new, read it and donated it.

How do I find out the rank of a book?

Thanks in advance.
