FFM what is the pay per drop system that you mentioned? Is it something I can buy off e-bay?:rolleyes:

It's a seller on Ebay http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/payperdrop_uk

I did use Selective but I don't know if you've seen the thread that is ongoing - they became a complete disaster http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?p=5499711#post5499711

I've used PPD once so far and they were brilliant, I booked late one night, they collected 11am and delivered the next day before lunch. My buyer was highly delighted - looks quite impressive having DHL deliver.

I'm not too concerned about heavy books now as the £5.99 covers up to 30kg.

That sounds like a right riveting read

Wish I could find something as desirable as that one to sell:rotfl:

Morning all, I just sold this:

Web Redesign Workflow That Works [Paperback] by Goto, Kelly; Cotler, Emily

for £17.99. Went in as a low price as it cost me absolutely nothing. So £17.99 richer

Hi.
I am a pro merchant seller on Amazon and sell books succesfully on two other sites. I wish i'd known about this thread when i first started using Amazon as there is a lot of useful information- especially in the opening post.

I'd be interested to know what peoples experiences are with using bar code readers. What benefits are there and how exactly do they work?

here's a weird one..my listings are on holiday mode and just out of nothing better to do I checked to make sure nothing was listed. Out of approx 1100 listings all are on holiday mode except for one that is available for purchase and shows up on a customer search.

It may be one of those listings that didn't get deleted when Amazon had one of its 'outages'. I've got a 'zeroed' book in my open listings - it's been there for quite a while now - I need to get round to checking if it has sold or needs to be relisted (it may have been a pending).

Although your book shows up as available, it might be possible that it cannot be bought. Do you have a close friend or relative that could try to buy it and then you refund them? At least you would know for sure.

Hi and welcome to the thread.

I have a bar code reader, but it only really comes in to its own when I have a mountain of books (with a bar code) to list. It then makes the whole process really fast. If you're only listing a handful at a time it's not worth it.
