Thought this may be helpful. I found a guy who is selling all DSD Domination files (pro, elite, monopoly, genesis) for $35 his skype ID geekzo29
How do you handle exchanges of items? Or do you just do refunds all together? If we setup an exchange for an item for the customer on Amazon will it create a new order and ship to that same address as original and Also provide a return label to send to customer to return the original one back?

I clear it as well! No piece of paper gets sent then
You would think so if you leave it blank. But twice I left it blank and got the gift notice paper when I had the items delivered to myself. Also clearing it and placing the order then going in to change gift receipt option the message is still there even though we cleared it before placing order. I don't know why this is happening. Recently I just been writing Thank you there so as to not give the default message of "enjoy your gift". Wonder why it is happening like this.

I just noticed something on Amazon order screen. On the last screen before placing order in the Gift Options section when you have initially marked the item as a Gift in your cart and now when you uncheck that box it shows the following message below it: "This shipment will not include any receipt and your message will not be saved." Does it mean that no invoice or gift message paper would be sent with this order? I had not seen this previously and when I was choosing item with gift receipt and clearing the note message and orders were still getting the gift receipt with no price, but also the gift note paper was being included. If doing it this way will it totally eliminate any paperwork that gets sent to the buyer?

Hi All,
I have been reading the thread carefully before making any action.
i have seen a couple of question "does this work outside of USA?"
i have made made my first sale today.. and i am from MALAYSIA..
I did the sale with 10 items i listed recently.
i am bound by the item limit for the moment, but im hoping my listing limit will be upgraded soon.
my first sale was a customer from Kansas, and as far as you know, amazon take a bit of my profit due to the state tax, and im left with 50 cents profit after all the necessary deduction.
that is a tiny profit, but finally i found a method that works....

Looks like a pretty legit method. Wonder why the one use got in trouble with eBay. At least this seems like it's 99% effective, the 1% being randomly restricted. If worse comes to worse, I assume buying an eBay account to start selling from again wouldn't be too bad. I've seen a few people selling aged accounts in the marketplace...

Can anyone confirm that the gift option is even necessary, especially for amazon UK?
From what I've heard, if your billing address and delivery address are different. Then no invoice or delivery note is included in the box anyway.
And obviously these 2 addresses will always be different.

Interesting question. I'm actually going to try this soon, by shipping an item to a family members house and checking the box myself.
Hopefully this will shed some light on this subject. Though i can't imagine many people will be disgruntled by this. Or i'm sure this method
would not exist and OP would have never shared.
Cheers

Well I've done it to 2 different family addresses here in the UK, and there is no invoice. But I keep choosing the gift option for my orders just in case they do it for some, and cba for others. But now I might have to try differently because some bastard just left this feedback, even though it's positive, it's rather annoying, and will show up in my feedback widget as well, which I won't be able to do anything about it until I get another 5 feedback to push it off.
This is the positive feedback they left: Item came direct from Amazon as a gift was a little confused at first.
As if that's positive, a-hole.

As I see it: OP's method works based on SEO. He doesn't necessarily care about having the best product available at the best price (although these things definitely help!) Instead, the aim is to try out-list other sellers in the search terms for eBay, and to do that you have to put yourself in the same position as the buyer. First, what things will the buyer likely type to find your product? Often times, a lot of the titles are unoptimised for such phrases which are usually very simple (that is why automation doesn't work!) Simple phrases need to occur as early as possible in the title, as many phrases as possible, plus also in the description. What other terms are buyers searching for? You need to keep this in mind.
Also keep in mind buyer psychology. Be reassuring in your listings. In your advertisement they are looking for reassurance. Reassurance specifically that your product will meet their needs and use-cases that they have in mind. So for example: say you're selling kitchen faucets. Can the faucet be pulled out to make it easier to clean dishes? If it isn't clear from the image alone then you need to emphasise these qualities otherwise the buyer will leave thinking it doesn't meet their needs only to land on someone who has made these things more clear.
It might also be helpful to keep in mind what I like to think of as the "narrative" for the product - every product has a narrative that it tries to tell and it's your job as a marketer to communicate that to the buyer. The narrative for the kitchen faucet is that it makes it easier to clean dishes by being detachable which saves you time! But it might also be that it makes it easier to clean the sink when you're done. Be creative. A guy doesn't visit at your listing lest he wants to buy. They're sitting there waiting to give you their money. Are you gonna take it?
Are you man enough to take it?

Has anyone had trouble with Amazon banning their prime accounts and cancelling orders recently?
I'm talking about free prime trial accounts.

Shout out to lewy2k for sharing this with all of us. Very detailed information. Thank you!
Not to hijack or sidetrack this thread but would anybody be interested in selling me a daily/weekly list of Amazon products I can do this with?
I work many hours at another company and don't have time to find products to buy from amazon and sell on eBay. If any one is interested please send me a PM. I'm sure we can work something out
Thanks,
--Mickey
