More books sold on half.com

January 13th, 2009 at 04:54 am

Got the two books from last week to the post office today, and I'll only be making $2.96 on one and $1.69 on the other. I'll put this as pending on my side bar because I haven't gotten the money yet.

$3.00 - Sale price
+$2.64 - Postage reimbursement (paperback)
------
$5.64
-$0.45 - Commission
-$2.23 - Actual postage
------
$2.96 - TOTAL

$1.00 - Sale price
+$3.07 - Postage reimbursement (hardback)
------
$3.64
-$0.15 - Commission
-$2.23 - Actual postage
------
$1.69 - TOTAL

I sold two items today. One book for $16 and a video game for $9. I bought an X-box from a friend of mine years ago for $200, including 20 games and 4 controllers. We play Halo (and sometimes Halo 2) all the time, and I play Buffy the Vampire Slayer and X-Men and another called Prince of Persia, but there were some games I have never played, so I put those on half.com. This one was Deathrow: Underground Team Combat. Never played it.

I won't be back home until Thursday night, so I can't send them until Friday. Should I mark them mailed before I mail them? Like tomorrow? Or wait? If I was the buyer, at least I would know that the seller got my order. But would the buyer check the post office timestamp to see when it was actually sent and complain on my feedback?

    I don't think you should mark things as shipped until they've been shipped. If there will be a delay in shipping, you should send the buyer a message to let them know.

    I don't mark shipped until I ship it, even if for some reason it is a couple days after I get the sale.

    Congrats on the sales, BTW!

    I would probably send the buyers an email stating that you are heading out of town and will not have a chance to mail them until Friday. Perhaps offer to add insurance to their item to make up for the delay.
