Play.com anyone tried it?

Like I say Oompa, I've only got a few copies so think I will shift them elsewhere. Whats the traffic and type of customers like over there?

[oompaloompa]

well there are sellers like you and I, the pros, then I think play.com sells it own stuff, Ive been on over a year and Ive sold about 25 items, but I am not indicative, as I go on there when I need to sell something, I tend to get multiple copies of stuff and so I put a few on ebay and a few on play, and lets say the ebay outsell about 5 to 1, I would never sell multiple copies of any type of software, cd, dvd etc without supplier info , which I have got. Ive been asked for it by ebay before, but they were cool with it, play hasnt asked yet.

best thing with all these sites is to check out sellers and feedback, to gauge it....

So it's to Amazon, what ebid is to ebay then. Well I will forget about subscribing and just shift the odd bit here and there like yourself.

I did not think it was worth subscribing, as I only come across the said goods in palettes now and again.

traffic not as good as ebay, but I think it is almost as good as amazon, but still ok as an extra smaller income source...

I dont recommend you sell anything other than legit software, if you upgrade.

Hey oomp

From what you've said about Play it doesn't sound anywhere near as good as Amazon. You can make big profits on Amazon if you know what you're doing, much more than Ebay, and less work,

Agreed that it might be worth it as an extra iron in the fire.

I think what I read on here scared me off amazon tbh..I got approved but didnt really go any further yet. funnily enough I got approved on restricted catagory, without having ever sold on amazon before..

I find ebay non linked accounts easy peasy, amazon is different to start over if something goes wrong according to forumers...

wish there was something like this for the USA :/

You probably have a lot more sites you can sell on than here.

Yeah I mean with Amazon if you start new accounts then you have the velocity limits to adhere to, and you also have the MAC concerns. But once you get a good account up and running then I think it's better than Ebay for a number of reasons

Does anyone know if the play bank account name has to match the real name on the bank account? Many Thanks
