Selling Your Stuff on Amazon Part 11 - Advice for newbies in first two posts

I've just sold two books to the same buyer on Amazon. Can I combine them in the same package or should I send them separately?

Hi Afur, the following quote is from the seller participation agreement;

1.1.4 To register you must provide your real name, address, phone number, e-mail address and valid credit or debit card information. You warrant to Amazon that the information you provide during the registration process (and any notification of change of such information) is true and correct.

So it looks like you do need a card, I seem to remember reading somewhere that debit cards were no longer going to be able to be used for this purpose but not sure if thats happened yet. You can always ring Amazon CS to get any questions answered.

I managed to get myself logged on as a seller by logging into my buying account and updating my bank account details. it then gave me the option of this acount when i when to seller account registration woohoo

Everyone has their own views on this. Personally if the postage would be a lot cheaper in one package, and quite often it is not, then I would combine and add a note to the packaging stating that I have sent both books together and also enclose a cheque for a small amount to represent the saving. The reason i send a cheque (assuming i can locate my cheque book!) is that buyer often thanks me for doing that but never cashes the cheque. I rarely refund through Amazon due to their views on excessive refunds and 'bad' sellers.

If the postage saving is minimal then I would just send the two books seperately packaged as though they were different buyers and explain to the buyer in my usual despatch email that as per Amazon requirements the two books will be sent in different packages. In that instance I would offer no refund.

Hi - I have a book that on Amazon is lowest priced at £50

It is stamped inside with 'REVIEW COPY' - is this a proof copy? In which case I guess I can't sell it

Hi Fitzmum, from what I can see on Google, copies of books are often sent out to review editors at the proof stage so you may be right. You could try asking on the Amazon seller connection board where theres a forum for new sellers - someone there might have more knowledge of this area.

Apparently such copies are often sold on ebay, I found this link which gives some info and it seems like some publishers are not happy with them being sold on!

Hope you are able to sell it somewhere, Teapot

Not easily! Very few buyers do have feedback, and very few sellers leave feedback for buyers, though it is useful to check and leave feedback when encountering a 'problematic buyer'

You can find some details and scren shots of how to access a buyers feedback here - http://forums.prosperotechnologies.com/am-UKfulfill/messages?msg=537.1
Though am unsure of how up-to-date those instructions are as there has been a couple of lay-out and navigation changes since then.

It's also likely you will have to be logged into your amazon account to view the above link on the amazon seller forum

Just wondering how you guys are doing with amazon sales as this thread has been very quiet the last few days! Are you all on holiday somewhere?
