That's true, it is £1.24, I'd never thought to mention it in the description, it might just persuade someone to buy...thanks for that!

Something else to add to your 1st post?

Just a thought

Hi AT, No, one off book I'm afraid, have a few others that are quite expensive, but it all depends on the buyers. They are quite specific IT books which we get review copies of, so only ever 1 of each - still I'm not complaining. You've scared me to death about the postage, I didn't send it special delivery - it was a really heavy hard back, but you're right I should have. I've got proof of posting and never had any go missing yet, so fingers crossed. I'll remember for future big sales though (hoping there are some!)

bj, you've scared me now because unless you sent it spec del or insured standard parcel it's only covered for £30.00 (10 times the current 1st class stamp). It would have cost you £19.00 for spec del or around a tenner depending on weight for insured standard parcels. Fingers crossed indeed!

Gulp, don't scare me any more! Be patient with me I am a newbie at this! Anyway, it left our post room, so I have proof of posting, and it has gone to someone at Lloyd's of London, to their office address - so hopefully it'll be OK - I'll let you know!

p.s. I've sold another £47.50 today! Thanks for the tip about merchant seller offer.

I know I managed to do this once, and a buyer has asked me to leave feedback. The Amazon site has me stumped, can anyone tell me where to go to leave feedback for my buyers. Thanks.

Has this become my very own thread? Am I boring everyone! How's it going, I've slowed up now, but I guess when you list all you have at once it's to be expected. Come one everyone, how you doin?

I just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who has contributed such helpful advice in this thread.
As a result, I've just made my first successful Amazon sales - four of them, and all profitable :j

Waiting for a new stock of books to put up.
