    I've looked at Amazon, my books (if i was to sell them) are like 1p on there lol

    I have sold books for 1p, but you can still take a portion of the shipping value.

    It does work out (sometimes) quite well.

    Hi Amy!

    Wow, that's a tough challenge but nothing's impossible. Are you using Quidco too? There is a certain amount of 'free' money to be made by eg signing up to free trials. I've just got £41 for applying for a Goldfish credit card (not that I'll ever use it of course).

    Good luck

    I love selling on Amazon! I posted 12 books today that I have sold, and just had another one sell for posting tomorrow! Have put some jigsaws up too... Amazon fees ARE quite high, but it costs around 70p for posting a paperback, and they charge a flat rate of £2.75 for postage, so you make some back on that
    Is that a light I see at the end of the tunnel?;)
  • Play.com is the probably best bet to sell dvd/books etc at moment, no upfront fees & the first ten items you sell in Jan 08 will be sold with no charges.:j
    Who says I have to be normal? :p

    the answers might help me too.......

    Still dont get how 1p book would work unless its a very light one. Only get about £2 for postage which has to include packaging??? Or if you are lucky enough to be able to post from work.
