    From Amazon site for trad-ins:
    Are there any delivery or other fees?

    When you use the pre-paid delivery label, sending your trade-in item to the third-party merchant is completely free, there are no other fees. When you submit your trade-in, you'll print a pre-paid Royal Mail delivery label for sending in your items. If a trade-in item is not accepted by the merchant, and is returned to you, there is no cost to you for return delivery.

    I think you can opt to go 'via courier' which means you go to P.O. and pay.

    i am such an idiot!!! :rotfl::rotfl:

    Does anyone have a link to the Amazon trade in page please? I can't seem to find it and have quite a few books to get rid of. Can you list any books or only certain ones? Thanks!

    Re Amazon trade ins.
    Lots of books are not listed -and yes they do only pay 25p for many - but if they are only selling for 1p second hand its worth it. Obviously if a book will sell for £22 then you would sell it yourself wouldnt you?
    But its a good way to get rid of what you would give away normally - I have two boxes to go now for just over £7.

    I used my Amazon credit towards some stationary I needed to buy and then saved the money I would have spent instead. Not sure that would help though if there's nothing you need to buy!
    Thank you competition posters!

    Hi everyone,

    No 17 reporting for duty again!!!

    Well having just re-read a few of the posts on here, I have remember that we have just switched over to the Halifax reward account which pays us £5 a month in interest so have now just transferred over my £5 into the savings pot which in turn has now taken me up to 54%.

    Feel like I'm getting somewhere now :j
    Mortgage - £2338.07 paid off Feb 2023 BTL 1 £51,089.10 £35789.36 paid off July 2025 BTL 2 £81,504.52 BTL 3 £77,497.02

    Did you start these at 99p? I've some maternity bits to list, want a few quid each for them ideally so not sure to list at 99p and hope or hold out for a free listing weekend?

    Just seen this, yes i have just started them at 99p - to be honest I generally start most things at 99p unless they are electricals that have value! I find things generally reach their "value" which is sometimes more and sometimes less than I expect (usually at least £5 per dress, a little more for good labels) but once I have a few items I am not so hung up on the individual prices...

    :rotfl:I will now be here on Sunday bemoaning how little they sold for! :rotfl:
