I remember when my brother used it quite frequently.

I have got the odd game or two though for my PS3 from it.

yeah they are. i was paying hundreds per week to them and they still treated me bad.and ripped me of.

and as a seller you have no rights. you could buy something on ebay for 10k then say you never got it and get yr money back and keep the item , the poor seller is fkd with payal

Ryan57 20-04-2014 08:52 PM

Ridiculous how you can only leave positive feedback as a seller also. :joker:

AnnieK 20-04-2014 08:55 PM

Never sold on Amazon. Just Googled...

Individuals selling at Marketplace pay a GBP 0.86 per item completion fee

Then you pay a percentage on top of that depending on what type of item. Soon adds up.

its on a par with what you would pay to use cards if you had a bricks and mortar shop and you have to pay for any service - like your local paper, a car boot sale etc

Item: Road Games [DVD] [1982] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC]
Condition: Used - Like New
Condition note: in cellophane
Listing ID: 0723NEBWA5E
SKU: CF-NZ73-4BHM
Quantity: 1
Order date: 19/04/2014
Price: £15.98
Shipping: £1.26
Amazon fees: -£3.78
Your earnings: £13.46

This is a typical amazon sale...and with amazon, they set the postage so even if this DVD was a 3 disc steel book costing a lot more than 1.26 to send, that's all you would get.
