One item category I encourage your readers to explore (particularly if they do carry a barcode scanner, like i do, is games and puzzles. For nostalgia sake or whatever, older (i.e a couple years old or more) games and puzzles picked up for $1 to $5 at flea markets, yard sales, etc., go for big bucks on Amazon, especially if they're still sealed. Keep up the great books and the great tips, Steve, I'm a fan! -J.B. Malik HonestOnlineSelling.com Steve-

My wife did that recently with some faucets she purchased on sale, which we didn't end up using. Instead of returning them, I discovered that I could make an extra $100 on each of them, from eBay. I didn't realize the Amazon FBA program was for more than just books. It's time to jump into that and see what it has to offer.

It does cost 7 cents per label, while Paypal labels are still free to print. The electronic rate is available for delivery confirmation ($.19) and it appears expedited electronic rates are supported as well. There is a bug with the app not letting you put in a weight lower than it is expecting based presumably on ISBN data. I have had to use Paypal for labels when this bug appears. Also, the labels don't include sections as you might be used to with Click-n-ship or the Paypal interface. Have to experiment with the Zebra to see if that is going to work as well.

This is absolutely a goldmine information. I've been waiting to join the Amazon bandwagon for a while now. I guess now is the best time then ever! Hi Steve,

Thanks for this update!

This is absolutely a goldmine information. I’ve been waiting to join the Amazon bandwagon for a while now.

I guess now is the best time then ever!
