Book seller blues

Think I mentioned this in a post a while back. It is happening faster than I even thought.

Ebooks outsell books on Amazon.com

Not good news if you are a book seller. Time to add e-books to your inventory.

I read that bit in bold as directed at eBid sellers since it was posted here

Yep...but Amazon is just look like retail site and no bidding but I don't know for real if any private seller can sell e-books even on Amazon...

Just had a look...Kindle eBooks have their own category...looks like it is just Amazon and their approved sellers are selling them.

I used to trade there but most of what I sold can only be sold by approved sellers and I couldn't get approved

I sold toys and jewellery

Hmmmm.....I don't know that.............approved sellers.......

[DZAMBO]

Real book is the better much but as I can see from retail sales ''new generation'' don't care for real book....that's sad....

Yeah...I started trading there in 2005 and sold all kinds of stuff but more recently was told that I could no longer sell toys and jewellery...also skin care and cosmetics without being on their list of approved sellers and all my listings were removed by Amazon.

I emailed them for advice on getting approved and was told that they only approved a small number of sellers and I didn't meet their criteria.

So..basically...that was the end of my relationship with Amazon

The only books I sell now are not mainstream books. I look out for unusual books to sell but most of my stock has gone to local charity shops now.
