| QUESTION: While I was listing a chemistry
| |
| | maybe the seller is hoping Amazon will
|
| textbook for sale on Amazon Marketplace,
| |
| | accidentally cycle off the lower-priced
|
| I noticed that new copies were available
| |
| | listings, so they get the sale.These
|
| for $20.22, while a used copy in "good"
| |
| | "highball" sellers probably don't have
|
| condition was listed at $1,346.00! Why
| |
| | any books in inventory, they just have a
|
| would a seller list their book at such an
| |
| | file of ISBNs they upload to Amazon
|
| exorbitant price?ANSWER: My hunch is this
| |
| | Marketplace after jacking up the prices.
|
| seller is trying to make a fast buck
| |
| | When they get a sale, they probably
|
| without really doing anything. This has
| |
| | drop-ship through another bookseller.I
|
| been going on at Amazon ever since I
| |
| | guess this is technically legal, you can
|
| started selling there in 2001, although
| |
| | sell a used book for whatever the buyer
|
| it's a lot less common now.It's possible
| |
| | pays for it. But it's sleazy, and makes
|
| this seller made a typo when they listed
| |
| | all of us honest sellers look less
|
| their book for sale, or while editing
| |
| | credible. These scammers degrade the
|
| their listing. Maybe they meant to enter
| |
| | marketplace, just like spammers ruin the
|
| a price of $13.46 instead of $1,346.00.

| I've made mistakes like this a few times,

|
| a hearing.But, there have always been
