spellchecker Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 what's the deal with amazon marketplace? is it just people selling their old books or something?i just bought some books "used" from amazon - and it said about this amazon marketplace. i got captain corelli's mandolin for 0.01! you seem to get charged 2.75 delivery for each book you order used.why is this the first time i've seen this? does anyone else use this? it seems almost too good to be true.

MattJimF Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 One of my mates ordered a few cd's off there, but he never recieved the cd's or got charged for it, he was a bit pissed off when i told him i had ordered a few things from america and got them before he knew what was happening with his cds.

It's no worse than buying off Ebay in my book....everyone has a feedback rating so u can work out if they're dodgy or not.

rufus13th Posted July 27, 2005 Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 I got a good deal for a book I needed for Uni.Shame I've graduated and now the book is useless. Guess I can sell it on Amazon Marketplace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bluesxman Posted July 27, 2005 Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 I buy and sell stuff there all the time, it's far better than e-bay as you don't get charged listing fees so it can be up for sale for ages. They take a percentage cut on sale though but it's not too excessive. When you sell something it is Amazon who assign a standard postal charge based on the item being sold, which as a seller sucks because sometimes it is far below what you end up being charged.I got the digipack ltd edition of St.Anger for like 3 quid or something a few months back.If I want a CD I always check the Amazon USED section first as some sellers list new stock in there.
