Due to rising cost and changing polices.. Amazon and eBay have seen the last of my books.. I sell well on both. But I have to pay such high fees that I can’t price my books at the cost I want to give my customers.  I have been selling one book on both sites and its not worth it anymore.. Amazon has a new policy that I have to send the book or item to the customer before they pay me.  Then if there is a problem I have to fight to get my money.. I dropped them the minute I read that.. Also they charge $5.99 for selling so I have to price things way up to get my money and authors money out of it..  eBay is raising and raising there prices… I am just a simple store who does a few products a week… I am not one of there high end sellers… I do this to please the customer and myself.  If I had to make a living at it. Never happen.. I sell to low…

My dream is to have my own bookstore someday… I have seen what I want to do from several others I know of. It can be done.. I just need capital and a good head start… So its my dream… and a good one.

Any ways I am on eCRATER.  The price and location is just right for me and my book store. I also have a shot glass store…. www.readerwave.ecrater.com      www.shotglassheaven.ecrater.com
