The Christmas slowdown

I must say, while sales are nice to have, it's also kind of a relief to only have to pack 3 parcels this morning after work instead of 16 or so = )

The Christmas slowdown

I had around 16 today (a lot from amazon). I guess people just keep buying books. Last year I had a very big first 2 weeks of January on Amazon so am curious to see what happens this year.

Congrats on the book sales.

For me, on a cold day, nothing like sitting by the fire, with a hot drink, and a great "beach book."

 

Kindles just do not have the same effect, imo.

Same here.  I am enjoying only having 3 things to go to the post office today instead of 7+.

 I had nothing going out today  and it doesn't look like much for tomorrow either . But ,,  I did better in sales this Christmas  than in the previous years .  In fact my jewelry sales paid for every gift I bought  and for that I'm very thankful . Today I thought about using the extra  time to straighten up my craft table ,, but just  one look at it  and  nah .  Tulips

Had my first NIB Christmas return request. It's outside my window so I CAN decline it, but sent buyer a msge saying while I can accept the return (I can always sell it again) that as they have to pay return shipping and only get the item cost back, maybe they'd be better off keeping it for a later "gift". We'll see.

Yes, but is it outside ebay's 30 days or paypal and credit card company's 6 month.

 

 Last time I tried that with a buyer she ruined my item, filed SNAD, and I got back a very expensive platinum paper weight.

Only if the buyer lies to PP or their cc and claims it's SNAD, which they have no reason to do as I already told them I was willing to accept the return, I just want them to think about it first.

Just saying some people can be very vindictive.  They can feel your response was a slight against them and retaliate.

As I said, we'll see. I hardly think they'd feel that was a slight.
