I was just about to advise patience - not needed, well done! first of many I'm sure.

I have edited my instructions on how to get into the sellers forum to read the old thread they had on us, I missed the bit out about looking back 3 months

Cheers AT. I've only read a few psots on that forum so far but sarah19524 seems nice!

"Well I like to think I did my bit to put off as many people as possible. This was my contribution to the thread [this thread!]."

Hopefully the thread will die a natural death.
Amazon needs more buyers, not hordes of get-rich-quick, fly-by-night sellers.

Like yourself? :rolleyes:

Just tos ay I placed about 15 books online last night about 2pm, mainly textbooks and revision books.
No buys yet but cant wait to see what happens especiall since I'm the lowest for 6 of them. If I sell them at their current price I will make £150 for books I don't even use!

:j

It's fantastic isn't it. I am so chuffed and grateful to Apprentice Tycoon - since listing all my unwanted stuff last Friday night, I've today broken the £100 net earnings mark and still not even sold a quarter of my stuff - and still stuff to list yet!!

Waited until about 4pm before going to post office today in case I got any more sales but none came. In the 45 minutes I was out I got 4 more sales!!! How typical is that. Back to the post office tomorrow then :rolleyes:

Not that I'm complaining really

Well done you're doing great!

I'm shocked at how coy and sneaky some of the amazon forum members are on that forum! Glad I'm here!

Just wondering, what would be the consensus on setting up an amazon listing site so you can manage you items?

Go easy on them...they haven't had the benefit of our community spirit.. .a few seemed to have taken a look and maybe some of them stayed, I hope so.

off topic but still money saving I like the Pocketmod that you have in your sig.link I've had great fun planning it's contents and folding it, I'll write all my spending down as I spend it...thanks!

Having re-read my post I do think it was a bit harsh. I certainly hope they stay if only to understand what this forum is about.

I love thepocketmod too since I came across it a few months ago, may look a bit odd doing it, but I always write down what I have spent when ever I aprt with my cash.

This is SO embarassing I still can't get passed log-in on this - the message is that my 'account doesn't provide sufficient access for this function' this will be because it's only for Pro Merchant sellers but I am a Pro Merchant seller! if I was that bothered I'd query it but I'm not really interested in hunting for a wanted book, I just sell what I find, if it's on a wanted list then that's a bonus. It may be of use to someone else so thank you in any case!
