If they're going to sell books they should include a picture of the cover, don't you think? My New Book On EBay 921805

That's very strange. How much is the book going for? Have you sold 100 books to anyone?

It isn't strange Karina; it's buy.com!

Buy.com advertise on ebay. Both my books are available from buy.com:

The book cover isn't yet showing for The Power of Persuasion.

Hi karina the book is set at $19.95 and the ebook at $9, I've only just
got my author copies and haven't had a chance to sell one yet, altough to
give it a better chance at selling the distributor discount is 55%

My first book is on buy.com I think and my second should be there by the en of the summer with any luck. Mind you that doesn't mean it will sell I just got a lot of praying and keep my fingers crossed. Not forgetting to mention it to eveyone I speak too. Very Happy

My book, Of Orbs and Lords, was on buy.com the last time I checked and it was on target.com too. All I can say is the more sites that carry it the better! Very Happy

Gotch! But how can they say thay have 100 copies to sell when the author hasn't been paid for any yet?

Subject: Re: My New Book On EBay Wed Jun 11, 2008 8:47 am

My book is on Buy.com as well. I think they list everything that is available, and the number they say is available is what they can get from the printer. They order them as needed, and so they are technically 'available' even though they have not yet purchased them.

Because they haven't purchased them yet, and only will order what they get orders for.

I saw my books on there as well, but no reviews and prices seem high.

Has anyone had sales from Buy.com?
