The problem with Amazon marketplace apparently is, that it does not protect you from dishonest seller. Yes, there are some guarantees (A to Z) but they are pretty limited as I will explain further. Basically Amazon bears very little responsibility for their sellers wrong doings. And it seems even your dog can become an Amazon marketplace seller. I ordered a "stainless steel quality guaranteed potato ricer" from a company that is called Cookware company (35 Maple Avenue, Harrow). I wish I didn´t. The product was delivered extremely poorly packed but that wasn´t a huge problem as it looked alright / undamaged. I washed it in a dishwasher (according to the seller .  Read the complete review

The Amazon Marketplace allows those of us who hoard, to clear out and sell our unwanted items - books, CD's, videos, DVD's etc. - through the Amazon website. I have been a marketplace seller on and off for about five years, and over that time, I think I've learnt a lot about the site, and indeed, selling online in general. Over the past 12 months, I've done it more seriously, though still selling unwanted 'junk' **HOW IT WORKS** The concept is simple; when you come across something you no longer need, you search for it on the Amazon site, then click on the 'Sell Your Item' link - you select the condition, where you are prepared to post it, and how ...  Read the complete review

There are a lot of people who actually don't understand what Amazon Marketplace is all about, and actually think that what they are buying is off Amazon. As a Marketplace trader for a few years I hope I can put the record straight. Amazon have a huge catalogue of books/toys/dvd's and many other products.

However there are times when Amazon run out of stock or don't stock a particular item. This is were the Marketplace comes into its own, as individual shops/traders ...  Read the complete review

I'm a bit of a hoarder but living in a small flat there comes a time when you need to have a good clear out. I used to sell a lot of unwanted items on ebay.co.uk but my recent selling sprees have left me disappointed with goods no longer seeming to command the prices they would have reached a couple of years ago and high seller and PayPal fees taking a large chunk of your earnings too. I started selling my books, DVDs, CDs and DS games on Amazon marketplace several months ago and have found that it has mostly been a positive experience. Amazon marketplace is part of the amazon.co.uk site which allows private sellers and businesses to advertise their goods for ...  Read the complete review

Introduction For the most part the marketplace is a great was as a buyer to pick up new or used products at a much cheaper price. I've bought many books/CDs/DVDs from the marketplace and have been very happy with the service. What the marketplace does is make Amazon.co.uk a portal to buy both things that amazon.co.uk sell but get them cheaper from other providers. How does it work? Just like any other amazon.co.uk purchase. You search for the product you want, add it to your shopping basket like any other item and check out as you would normally. Amazon.co.uk take the payment and only release it once the seller confirms the item has been dispatched. ...  Read the complete review
