Did anyone answer you on this?

If not, nope, they won't charge you. Keep the scarf!

Quote from kurips :
Amazon selling turns out to be a nightmare! I sold only 3 cheaper books (thankfully!), and one of the buyers contacted me that they didn't receive it. It's been more than 3 weeks since the delivery confirmation states "delivered". I sold this book at a loss (2 of the 3 books are at a loss actually). I'm a newbie, so I just matched the lowest price (1 cent + $3.99 ship), only to find out I'll lose out when I was preparing the order. I didn't realize Media Mail can cost that high. Amazon's cut is very high too for such a cheap item. Anyway, I'm thinking positively that I'm just glad this happened to me for a smaller item. I am planning to sell a couple of textbooks. I guess those should ship with signature confirmation and insurance. Anyone who has experience selling textbooks at Amazon have any advice?
I sold 99% of my textbooks on Amazon and it helped pay for my new books. I sold them a bit lower at cost. So like a $120, I'd sell for $80-90. Yes Amazon takes a big cut, so I'd rather sell half.com. I would list books on both at the same time and take down a listing once I've sold it. I've been lucky and never had a problem with no one receiving my book via Media Mail and I didn't insure anything. Media Mail averages about $4-$5 per book.

If you don't want Amazon to take such a large cut, try textbookz.com. I sold a handful of books here as well. Personally, I think it's too expensive to ship with signature conf + insurance. Sometimes you might have to consider that these are kids and probably will be in class when the mail comes around. Do their apartment people then sign for it? I don't know. If you were concerned, I'd ship only with delivery conf. I hope that helps a little.


Quote from longislandgirl :
Kurpee your post showed up just in time when I was thinking if I should sell my books through amazon. Now I think I am good with ebay /half.com.

How do you pay shipping label for media mail by PayPal? I could never find it Hide

In our marketing class last semester one guy was saying that the idea of opening site to just buy/sell book within campus is very good and we can save money by that and blah blah blah prof was smart but I think he some how got dumbfounded by that student's idea. I raised the hand and asked a simple question to him- why would I sell my book on your site if I can sell it for more than what I bought it for on eBay laugh out loud everyone in class was EEK! really? I was like - in which world they live? or how dumb they should be to not know how to make money or at least not lose much money.

And these are the students of business school we are talking about laugh out loud

That made me think for the first time that 1. We are smart that's why we found SD in the first place (most people still don't go beyond the Macy's coupon they get in mail- hard to believe but it is true) 2. We share knowledge and get smarter by finding better deals and money saving techniques and 3. now we are so used to it that when someone spend without much thought we see them as surprise laugh out loud
Liggy, I don't want to discount anything K has said, but I've had great success at Amazon. If you really need to get rid of your books, list both places and at textbookz.com

To ship via media mail, go here: https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin...=_ship-now

You can see media mail in the ship method drop down menu.

Also, I think your insight about us here at SD is quite accurate. I've benefited so much because of all you gals here.

However, that makes me very, very, very concerned that these commentary are coming out of business students in a marketing class. It makes me feel like my degree is worth more than theirs!! Crazy

I haven't been getting back into the swing of things for a while now...

I just ventured out into the mall after like a month of staying away. I went to use my Express coupons. One for my $15 RC and I wanted to combine with the mailer $15 off $30. But I was told I couldn't. I guess I forgot. Then I told her I wanted to use the $15 off $30 because I was buying a $50 shirt!!! But she took my $15RC instead!! I didn't catch on to the fact that I could've used that later, to get something at cost until I got home. Mad

Then I went to Godiva to get my chocolate of the month and I forgot my Strawberry truffle bar coupon and I knew they could look it up, but she said I had to have the coupon. I even bought stuff for DBF!!! I would be more forgiving if I didn't buy anything and went in to get freebies. I got home and checked online and it shows up in my account. WTF!! I want to go back and return my stuff because I got jipped! Too bad this store is so far away. Mad

I did go into VS to check out the pink Goregous bra they're pushing on the VS site and it looks ugly in person. I really wanted it, but now, not so much. Instead of looking like different shades of pink, the lace is red!! That's just weird. I'm just waiting for my free bra perks and then I'll get it with that.

I have been so off and I have become very un-slick these days. shake head

This makes me remember why I hated going in stores so much!!

I'm buying less and less in-store. I do better online and don't have to deal with bitchy sales people! It's so much nicer!

Questions...

My DH called to cancel his Julep membership & had to leave a message. Is that normal? Will they cancel it, without him needing to call back?

Also, with his Julep order, I got a small, clear jar with what looks like gold & iridescent glitter. Any idea what it's for? I'm guessing it's to use with polish, but it looks like it would make a mess. I really don't know what to do with it. Embarrassment

Quote from annicus :

My DH has always said he likes lingerie best, when it's laying on the floor. laugh out loud That doesn't take any preparation at all. Stick Out Tongue

Quote from ALVSGIRLY :
We went to magic kingdom. We figured ds would like that best, but my favorite is epcot. I hope to get back soon but who knows with dh's schedule. He's leaving in the morning for mississippi.
Sorry, he's leaving again. hug I agree MK would be the most fun for your DS. Epcot is our favorite park too. We love World Showcase. You need to take your DS back to MK next year, when all the construction is done.

Quote from ALVSGIRLY :
Go heels-how far is Tampa from Orlando?
It depends on where in Tampa to where in Orlando. We can be to WDW in about an hour. We're in north Tampa, & WDW is southwest Orlando. Actually, it's in Lake Buena Vista, but most people think of it as being in Orlando. To Downtown Orlando it's about an hour & 20 to 25 minutes. That's with normal traffic. The traffic on I-4, between Tampa & Downtown Orlando, can be extremely congested at times making it longer. Stay far away from rush hours.

i thought about signature confirmation being a problem because it's inconvenience sometimes especially with students. dh and i think signature is not needed if insurance is purchased. we recently sold something for $100 at ebay and iirc we ended up buying signature confirmation even after we decided it is not needed on top of the insurance laugh out loud

I saw the construction signs and wondered what they're doing!

We've been talking about buying something down there. We've always been to destin and have kind of been looking there. I forgot how awesome Orlando was. I haven't been since I was a teen. So that got me thinking about the Tampa area. We have some neighbors that have a spot a little south of there. Main reason I don't want to do anything is because we would probably never use it. Then it would just be a pain in my ass. I do really want a beach house though. I'm a little conflicted on this.
