    All mine have sold through Amazon, I haven't sold any direct. However I have tried donating some to libraries but never had any response.

    So, after giving up on ebay I listed some CD and books on Amazon back in June. Completely dead for weeks and now two have sold...maybe worth continuing with Amazon?

    I do usually sell them on Amazon, but some I cannot as they're not on the catalogue. So I thought I'd see whether any libraries would want them :)

    Can anyone help?

    I went away, and I put my status on Amazon to the holiday mode. But I've just put it back to active and all my listings have disappeared. I don't know whether the 60 days were up, but surely I would have got an email or something?

    Hi Nicki

    I got back from my holiday on 7th August too and switched my holiday setting off at about 9pm. My listings were visible within 20 minutes and sales have been quite good since. The first sale was at 10pm.

    Hope you get yours sorted.

    FFM :)

    Thanks for that! It is now back. It just scared me as I had done it before and it appeared immediately.

    Hope you had a nice holiday :)

    Nicky, glad you are sorted now.

    Thinking about it, I should have downloaded my listings before I set my holiday setting (I am a pro seller), that way if they had lost my listings I could have uploaded them again. I would hate to have to relist the 4000+ books I have listed :eek:

    Crumbs, and I was thinking having to relist about 20 things was bad enough :P :)

    Re the disappearing listings after a holiday - I had the same thing happen yesterday, but the next time I logged in they were back.

    In the meantime I noticed that they were also in the 'closed' marketplace listings so if need be you could relist that way.
