    ANYONE? NO ONE? :confused::confused:

    I read a thread about this either on here or maybe on Amazon. If it was on here it may have been about selling stuff for someone on Ebay (but same principles apply). Then again it might have been the one where someone was going to buy some books from a friend and wanted to know what would be a fair price per book - there were lots of really good suggestions - pros/cons, %ges suggested etc. Problem is that I can't find the thread now.

    Maybe some other bright spark might remember it and be able to find it??

    FFM :)

    are these thee numbers showing in your 'store front' or your open listings?

    the store front is notoriously unreliable and can often show 0 or even items from other sellers! If it's your open listings, could it be that your items are being de-listed after the 60day period?


    The numbers are in my open listings. I am still a pro seller (at the moment) so it cant be delisting them either

    Decided to join amazon marketplace today and have put my first item up for sale (a video game) and was just wondering if i can change the writing bit in delivery (if you follow me) as i want to put more description as other sellers selling the same item have alot more information.

    Is there any way of doing this?:confused:

    Go to your seller account and click on Open listings. Then look for the item you want to change and click edit ( in a column to the right).

    I was doing so well, I stormed ahead on Saturday with 3 sales (good for me) but nothing since.

    As I'm away for this weekend I'm going to have to close my listings for a few days which means that once again I'm not going to hit my monthly target of 30 books I need to make the pro seller thing worthwhile.

    I can't carry on paying pro seller and only selling 25-29 books, yet if I cancel my pro seller I will have to delist a number of books that won't be worth selling, and with 980 books currently listed that's a huge job I don't look forward to. :( I will have to make a decision when I get back from holiday I think.

    I have had dry spells of 4 days at times, then 5 a day then nothing again - been quite peculiar. I am expecting things to drop off as I am nearly at the end of my book surplus (unless I start on OH's boxes he says he wants to keep!) and folks have bought what they want I suppose. Lots are education text books so am hoping changes in term and book list issuing may boost it a bit more. Have some more up in the Mids which I put aside on first run through Amazon as not worth listing, but since I have learned about the 1p books I may yet put them on too at a price to make some reasonable profit.

    Did you find your book?? Now you got more hotspots to do today putting them all away again!

    happy flying - and thanks!
