Very slow here too Soolin

Had a great September and first half of October but the last 2 weeks have been dreadful - even been and done some repricing which usually livens things up but even that didn't work.

Am reduced to doing the housework now :eek:

Same here - busy Sept and part of Oct then sales slowed down. After selling none in the last week - I sold 4 yesterday - so there is some hope!!
Just wish I could sell 4 a day every day

Hi Joe, just tried 6 random VHS barcodes with my scanner - all seem to be working okay. Are you doing this from your Seller Account area in the 'List single items' link?

Otherwise, is your scanner reading them okay?

Thanks for checking!

The scanner reads in a number fine; it's just the the number bears no resemblence to anything on the amazon catalog.

I'm using common videos - beauty and the beast, aladin, ect?
It may well be just me... will have to have another go.

I kind of have a vague recollection that someone on the seller boards said that Amazon were removing old VHS tapes from the catalogue, 99% of these Disney ones are los smaking anyway.

However I can't recall when I read it exactly, so not much help really, sorry.

Another quick question..

I've decided that I'm going to start selling some of my business items on Amazon - not just books etc - but can't find the correct category to list them under...

I want to add them as Jewellery and Religious items.. which is a category on Amazon itself, but I don't have an option to add it under my seller marketplace thingy.

Do I have to be Pro Merchant to have access to all the categories?

Thanks..

lallysmum, you do need to be a pro-seller in order to add new items to the catalogue.

I don't have many Disney videos these days, but some of the ones I have are:

Mary Poppins 5017182002321
Alice in Wonderland 5017122003685 - 5017182003625
Aladdin and the King of Thieves 5017182460923
A Bug's Life 5017186102140
George of the Jungle 5017186101082

The scanner read all of them correctly and Amazon had them listed - except Alice in Wonderland - the scanner read the number in red, but the bar code was the number in black. Amazon recognised the black number, so it was my scanner that misread the barcode which was a bit faded.

Grr.. said thanks and it didn't register!

As I said, will just have to give it a go then. I was hoping to see how popular the items would be before I paid out, but meh.. nothing ventured..

Thanks for your help.
