I sold a book over the wkend, then couldn't find it, so i had to refund the buyer. That now means that the book will turn up any time now....

Can i just say FINLAND ROCKS :dance:

Someone at Amazon has obviously found money for the meter as my sales have started again..but oddly enought at the moment 1 in 3 sales is to Finland

Hmm, neither my Amazon book nor my Ebay book turned up again today and my Amazon seller is now down to 86% positive.

Lost out on a sale for amazon this week, but made one tonight on Play.com. Book bought for 50p, sold for £5, excellent work!

Oh, and since all I am getting on MSE this evening is ‘page not found’ and all my posts are disappearing isn’t making me happier. I’m now forced to type this all out in word and then cut and paste it just to stand any chance of posting anything.

Same happened to me a couple of nights ago Soo - I typed out a long response to someone about my experience of buying a pallet of books and then even though I was logged in it went to the log in page and lost the post. Was too tired to do it all again but might have another go after tomorrow....

I've been lurking for a long time on MSE. Finally took the plunge and registered and this is my first post.

I sold on Amazon a few years ago, but after reading this much inspiring thread I decided to clear out my bookshelf yesterday.

I sold my first book within an hour of listing it last night and another one a couple hours later. I am so chuffed. I've got the bug now :dance:!

Thanks for all the fantastic advice on this thread (well...the MSE forums in general).

Hi Kisto, welcome to the Amazon club!! feel free to join in and share your tips or stories about your sales, or your search for books.

I'm off to an auction viewing this morning but the past few auctions have had very few books, so I'm not hopeful. I have managed to sell two £10 books overnight, so pleased about that.

My Amazon book finally arrived, posted 2nd class Monday, so posted even later than ther seller claimed. I have a couple of questions, I want to leave neutral feedback, I thought 3 stars to reflect the fact that it wasn't posted until I asked about it well over a week after buying. As I used my main selling id to buy if she leaves me feedback as a buyer will that affect my selling score? I think it is a different system, but I thought I would check first. Also is 3 stars 'fair' for someone who waits 2 weeks to post and then only after getting a delivery enquiry? I don't want to be unfair here and a 3 will severely damage her rating as he last 2 feedback were also poor, however I am also mindful of the fact that some of us on here have received 3 stars for incredibly minor points and Amazon do only see this is a neutral.

Hi Soolin

I wouldn't leave 3 stars for someone leaving posting that long, with no apology. I would leave a negative.
