What I have noticed though, is that Amazon buyers don't read the discription, so if the difference is significant, I always contact them to confirm they are happy before posting.

Thanks chja - that's a good point.

Hi everyone
Sorry if this is a daft question.
I've just posted my first 4 items I've sold and have now gone to the View Orders section on Amazon. Clicked the Contact Buyer/Shipping Notifcation.....
Do I type anything on here or is something auto generated by Amazon?
Thanks
Chris

There is a big box where you can type free format - nothing will happen automatically.

Well done letting your buyers know that you have shipped - too many don't bother.

Hi
Just gone into the view payments page and it says that my balance is £0.00 but I know it should be £50+ as all the transactions are there just not showing on first page. Any ideas? I haven't requested the money be sent to me. I have emailed them but wasn't sure how long they take to reply.

Thanks

It hasn't been sent automatically has it? There should be a drop down box at the top right of the page where you can see if there is a previous invoice and that might show a payment has been made.

2 more books sold today and despatched. That makes total of 7 books and 1 dvd since new year. Not making massive profit on any of them, but they were all free so it's all extra.

Could it be a pending where an email has got lost?

As far as I can recall, pendings don't go into closed listings - I think they stay in open but move to '0'. Happened again tonight, book moved to 0 in closed but SDN didn't arrive for some time and it didn't appear in orders either. I only noticed it had sold as I'm relisting books from my closed listings as i gave up being PM and they all closed at once :eek:

Urgh, some Marketplace sellers keep trying to undercut my listings by 1p :rolleyes:

I'm not too bothered, I have allowed myself a lowest figure to drop down to before I let them have the low price. I've made a killing on a load of old Xbox games that I never thought were worth much, I have just sold Halo 2 for £5.99 and I have seen it go for as little as 99p on eBay!

Hi everyone, just popping along to say hi

I sold a couple of things on Amazon a while ago but have now started selling in earnest, listed a load of books, vids etc last week and have had 23 sales so far.

Wow babesandbrats, that's good going. I've just sold my 8th book this year,I hope it carries in the same way.

I sold another three things over the weekend - a book and two games. I've sold about 7 things so far this year!
