Amazon

[saarzi]

Does anyone sell on Amazon.com?
Just wondering if sellers definitely do need for U.S. or U.K bank account... or is there an easy way to use an Aussie one or some online service?
I can get a U.K one... just wondering if there was anything else with less fees.

Thanks

I sell on Amazon. I'll start to take it more seriously when I go to Guangzhou, China next month sourcing new products.

You can use your Australian Bank account to register for an account (in the past this was not possible).

Amazon probably charge slightly more in fees, but the advantage is you can ship your products to them and they will fulfill the orders for you.

Anyone bought off Amazon and if /also how was it?

Michelle you need to start your own thread if anyone is to see the question.

That said, I have bought from Amazon UK and USA....not different to any online buying venue really.   You buy, you pay, they ship.

Just bein' polite Stawks.

I doubt that Amazon has a Hand Holding Committee to talk Michelle through every step of the transaction.   She will be on her own unless she comes here for some moral support.

I have purchased an out of print book I was looking for for 5 years from one of their private sellers but postage was nearly A$30.00 which is more than double Amazon's normal rate.  Book arrived in 10 days

If your book arrived quickly and had rather high postage it sounds like it was sent through one of the USPS premium services.

That is certainly better than through ebay's GSP which charges high postage and is painfully slow.
