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:

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.Great opportunities to help others seldom come, but small ones surround us every day. -- Sally Koch0 -
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!I see amazon only credit you with a gift card - I need the money to help pay my next percentage!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 :jMortgage - £2338.07 paid off Feb 2023 BTL 1 £51,089.10 £35789.36 paid off July 2025 BTL 2 £81,504.52 BTL 3 £77,497.020 -

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:DFW Nerd #1310
