It seems an eternity ago that Amazon came up with the idea of providing shop fronts for independent merchants to sell stuff on its website. At the time I thought that it was a bonkers idea, but I must say that for selling surplus-to-requirements books it really is pretty good. The monetary side is handled totally seamlessly, refunds are easy, the delivery note generated is good etc. etc.
There has been a hiccup with my shop recently - somehow I stopped getting any orders. I really don't know where they have been going, and I actually still don't know. I can view my orders on the Amazon site, although the navigation, ten years on, remains fairly atrocious.
At the moment I am selling only books. I may look to selling some high-tech gizmos in the near future, but I'll have to think long and hard about chosing Amazon over eBay. Books are a no-brainer, because in Amazon all one has to do is enter the ISBN. I wish I could obtain a cheap USB bar-code reader that would automate even that process!
