Is Sold, Dispatch Now Worth It?

There are increasing numbers of people who are listing their goods on Amazon through Amazon's Marketplace facility. Amazon's Marketplace is similar to Ebay in that you list your product and wait for someone to purchase it. However unlike Ebay you do not have to pay for the listing upfront. You only pay Amazon once the item is purchased. In fact you do not actually have to give Amazon any money at all as they take their cut from the price paid the buyer of the item sold.

Sold, Dispatch Now! is system designed to help people make money through Amazon's Marketplace facility. It's creator, Sharon Fussell, is not claiming that it will make you rich but you can earn extra cash doing this, and in these troubled times extra cash is always useful.
It takes you through the whole process of using Amazon's Marketplace. From setting up an account, to listing your items, to dispatching your orders. It uses books as examples of the items being sold but pretty much anything can be sold as long as it has a barcode or ISBN number. It also takes you through what to sell and how to find replacement stock.

I purchased this in 2007 and listed a number of books I had read. Within 2 days of listing these books I had sold my first one, I was hooked. I have consistently sold books on Amazon ever since. I have also sold CDs, DVDs and computer games. Some of the computer games were very old (over 8 years old) and they still sold.

Would I recommend this to anyone? Yes I would thoroughly recommend it. In fact I have recommended people sell their items on Amazon rather than Ebay as I find it far easier and friendlier to use.
