Sell on Amazon: A Guide to Amazon's Marketplace, Seller Central, and Fulfillment by Amazon Programs

still reading...

I bought this book expecting it would be having something extraordinary, but it pretty well had nothing more than what I had already researched on Amazon. For the price listed it is quiet expensive. I was believing that I would get an updated version but the book is of 2008 print with no new updates, as Amazon has changed a lot over period of years.Would have been better if the book was updated!!!

Excellent service, would use again.

Great Book. Very informative. The problem is that most of the apps mentioned in the book and most of the rules and instructions are for sellers in the US not in Canada.

When I first saw that Steve Weber had written a book on Amazon retailing, I thought "Selling on Amazon is easy. Why would he write a book about it?" I just finished reading it, and it blew me away. There is so much about selling on Amazon that I didn't know.Table of Contents:IntroductionGet Started on AmazonMange InventoryStay on the Law's Right SideStay on Amazon's Good SideKick it up a NotchSource Used Items for SellExplore Seller CentralHandle Your FulfillmentOutsource Your FulfillmentCompete with FeedbackExplore the Social JunglePay-Per Click AdvertisingYour Own WebsiteAmazon AdvantageThe first thing I did after reading his book was change my seller ID. I didn't like the one I had, and I had no idea how to change it. Now it's fixed. After reading "Sell on Amazon," I learned that some items are prohibited for sale by certain third-party sellers.Weber suggests that you print a packing slip with every item you ship. The packing slip should include your e-mail address and the link www.amazon.com/feedback. The slip should also contain a message that prompts the buyer to contact you if he/she is unsatisfied with your service.Brandon Simpson

I was very eager to receive this book and pre-ordered it before the release date. The content seemed up to date, which was a problem with prior books on the same subject. This was easy to read and the chapters were clearly stated with the subject matter. Overall I think this would be a good reference for somebody who is just starting to sell on Amazon. It did provide me with some insight as to how the levels of selling are established on Amazon, and I was able to move my business to the next level.

There is useful information in this book, and I haven't finished reading it yet, but so far it as very basic - nothing big that wasn't:a) apparent intuitively through just going ahead & using the Amazon Seller Marketplace,b) available in more detail and more up to date via Amazon's own FAQs on their website.Perhaps there will be more yet to come (I'm about halfway through), but so far it's best use is as a confidence builder that you haven't missed anything key amongst the large amount of info linked together in a web of FAQs, etc. on Amazon's own site. And that in itself is a valuable use for it.
