Wow - got an email to say I've sold one of my books! That was fast!

I tried that and didn't sell a thing. Maybe my books were too obscure!! What have you sold, and how much did you make (if you don't mind me asking)?

BTW, I am really impressed by your £2 savings!!

Well with all the programmes lately on green living and the evironment it was a book about that! I've made about a tenner so not pots of money but it saves it gathering dust and as it goes into my mortgage piggy its saving me interest as well!

I've been saving my £2 coins for a while, but its nice to know I'm not the only one!

I have just been readin pricing on Amazon and would I be right in saying that you pay an admin fee of 86p to list book, then 49p took off postage for fee and then an 17% final value fee, thats seems like a lot to me !!!! anyone agree? or am I wrong?

Thanks so much for jogging my memory on this one - just put 4 books on there in no time at all, I am really pleased, it's a lot less hassle than ebay

I'm going to have to give this another try. We've got loads of book that we could sell - maybe I just didn't choose the right ones last time. Anyone got any tips about what sells well?

Sarahsaver

If I were you I'd just put 'em all on;) Nothing ventured nothing gained.

Okay, I'll give it another bash and see how it goes.

There are a few useful tips for Amazon selling and what sells best (and not so well) here on the ebay board
