Just a quick question.. Does anyone know how long it takes for the money to be deposited into your account?

I expected it to be the same kind of time period as paypal, but its been a week now.

It is deposited every 14 days or so.

I have some books on Amazon for a while, but listing and relisting took ages, however since getting broadband its a lot easier. I had not listed /or sold anything new for a while but then 2 books went within twenty four hours.

Anyway as I was printing off the labels I thought about a book upstairs, so went and listed it, despite sounds of ...you cant list that old thing its way out of date. Yes it is .... but thought nothng ventured nothing gained .... so listed it noting puplication date and different cover and would have just put 0.99p on BUT having read this thread ...thought it might be out of date , , but new copies are dear...I'll try for around the original cover price. It might have novelty value!!!! I was shocked to find it had sold overnight!!!

Delighted !!

Hi,

This google query should show you what buyers are waiting for if you want to source them.

http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=%22buyers+waiting%21%22+site%3Aamazon.co.uk&meta=

NB: I noticed it sometimes says x buyers waiting! and simply keyed that into google and set the site. You might want to refine it to return just books only etc. It seems to be a bit hit & miss due to google caching I think, but hopefully some google buff can refine it further. I've added some exclusions to this one. Click here.

Hello everyone...

This thread has moved on a long way since the early days about using Amazon as a means of earning pin money and is now much more of a question and answer session that really belongs on the ebay (& other auctions) board.

I'll be moving it across very shortly but will leave the redirect in place so that you can all find it easily.
