Anybody sell Disney DVD's?
 

Anybody sell Disney DVD's on Amazon successfully? I think I remember somebody saying it's difficult. I been selling various DVD tv show seasons with no problems on amazon but I wanted to check here before making an order for them.

I haven't yet tried selling Disney DVD's on Amazon, although I sold lots of them on eBay, along with TV Show Box Sets. I've been thinking of trying Amazon now that eBay suspended me, but for some reason, Amazon scares me a little! Do you do well there? I'd love to hear anyones suggestions for Amazon...

I don't know anyone who has lasted selling DVD's on Amazon. 2-3 months, tops. Even people with 100% legitimate stock get shut down.

Well I've only been at it a week but I have been selling 30-40 Items a day (single tv show seasons). I didn't expect them to sell that quickly but that's way more then I feel safe selling on ebay per day. I figure if I do last 1-3 months only I'll just open a new account.

It's probably a good idea I don't do disney dvd's as I guess there is no reason to and I'll just get more TV show series

Disney DVD's are bad to sell.
They will come down on you like a ton of bricks.

DVDs in general are suicide. Amazon is extremely good at suspending people selling them.
Why not find something that's not so obvious and sell as well as maintain your accounts.

we are here to help you get a new account so it'll last for you,.... not so that you can just go and get suspended then you go open new accounts every time.

Try to think in the long run, as it's healthier and things are going to get tougher in the future.

amazon is very stick for selling disney ,and we have some customers have some problem to selling disney on amazon before.But tv show is no problem for selling on amazon.

The rip on disney dvd's looks small though...i guess volume comes into effect.

you can not make too much profit for each set,as the price is very low

Dvd is like a lost profit Between the sellers low balling, shipping and amazon fees lucky if you make a buck or 2.

Well there is quite a lot of sellers who have the lowest price on brand new movies / dvd sets that are obviously ⊗⊗⊗⊗ with hundreds of feedback and they sell quite a lot. If I do get suspended i'll probably look for something else.

I've had success selling Disney DVD's. The most profitable by far is during holidays last year as I sold literally hundreds. In fact, some titles were going for $55 bucks plus right before Christmas. I did have one new account go into 30 day review as at that point I didn't have any feedback but sold 20+ Disney DVD's. I got a little too ambitious and was sure I'd get suspended but somehow, all my accounts passed review.

Having said that, I did get one account suspended several months later because of a bad batch sent to me. I received an email through amazon stating that this customer thought it wasn't real although she did not pursue matter. I then received a negative from another customer as she claimed it wasn't real as it did not even play on her computer. That account was suspended the same day she gave me negative feedback. I did receive other complaints from customers on my other accounts but I just sent them all replacements and/or refunded money.

You can make money just be cautious how you write description on comment section. A quick way to get negatives leading to permanent suspension is just shipping item and not telling customers in comment section that it comes without slipcover if you buy these Disney DVD's from overseas (which just come wrapped in plastic without Disney sticker title on top or slipcover). Trust me, nothing raises the ire of some customers more if you send without slipcover and not stating it! They would immediately suspect either it is ⊗⊗⊗⊗ or you just re-wrapping it in shrink wrap and selling as new. You'd want to avoid those customers altogether as they know all authentic Disney DVD's comes with slipcover.

Having said that, Amazon does look at what you state in comment field as well which can get you suspended if all your Disney DVD's state no slipcover if your selling new. Selling used though, you can get away with it more often and make very good profits especially during the holidays when used goes for $35 or more!

Lastly, if you peruse the internet enough, you can find independent Chinese companies that sell the Disney DVD's with the slipcover and the title sticker on top of DVD. I know of such but will keep that to myself!:p

That is true but in this instance of selling Disney DVD's during the holidays is different. Sales go extremely fast and sellers low balling quickly sell out and the more patient reap the profits. Example of which I will use what I did during last holiday season. After gauging how fast some titles sell, some were low balling prices around $22.00 and selling out within literally minutes. Not bad, but I priced my Disney movies at $45-55 for the same titles. Within an hour or two I also sold out. And once I sold out of one batch, I'd immediately move to another account and list them again and sell out. I just repeat the process over and over on all my accounts.

Thats awesome, by holidays you mean like a week before christmas, or all of december?

From early October for delivery by holidays.

play.com - uk disney dvds, a big no-no....made 400 in a weekend, 3 buyers had a problem, play.com withheld all my funds and refunded all my buyers - I literally had to give it all away AND deal with a fair amount of scorn.

This is the thing about kids movies. Parents buy them to make their kids happy. Especially at Christmas.

If the DVD is defective, and their kid is crying YOU WILL HAVE A PROBLEM!

If I send you a defective DVD of a title that you wanted for yourself, you might be OK if I just offered a replacement or a refund. It would be annoying, but you would probably just deal with it. If I disappointed your CHILD who is crying and upset on Christmas that they can't watch the Little Mermaid, then you WILL BE OUT FOR BLOOD!

Think about it.

Quite true. I've had that happen to me...several times. Before and after Christmas. There were angry parents who wrote to me. I just have to empathize with them and their situation.

I just write back and state how disappointed and truly upset I'd be if that were to happen to my child (even though I don't have any). I'd really go all out and eventually they would kind of console me at the end. I'd immediately ship a new one expedited 1-2 day delivery. Have gotten several positives from them upon receipt of new and working Disney DVD due to 'the most excellent customer service received'.

I'm not one to deceive people as I feel a twinge of guilt but in the end my customers are happy. That's what matters to me.

It is a serious issue if the dvds is defective and let the child feel disappointed.As you know,it is so important gift for the important days.You have to check all the dvds well before you send out during these days.

If people want to buy it, there is a way to sell it under any circumstances in my opinion. Some things are just harder to sell than others.

If people wanted the real deal, then sure, they can go to retail stores and hand them down 100 bucks more for the same item. At the end of the day, it about WHAT gets the job done with the least amount of money, 80% of customers don't care if it's ⊗⊗⊗⊗. As long as you supply them quality goods...

@jeffweico - no, the dvds wre not defective, neither was it xmas....besides what kinda of a monster do you think i am?! - if the dvds don't work i would of course refund, that was not the problem. the problem was that buyers could not get their head around the fact that the dvd said region1 on it even though i explained that the disc was region free. they wanted region2 with the hologram. As usual, the buyers want 100% authentic for maybe 33% nof the RRP - i.e. cloud cuckoo land .....

Pending, I wasn't commenting on your actions, just using it as an example. My point is that for people considering selling ⊗⊗⊗⊗, some are bound to cause more problems than others.

I apologizr if you thought I was personally insuting you, that was not my intention.

Now ebay will know the dvds are copy if you say the dvds are region free.And only original disney dvds come with the hologram,so you had better list this content saying your disney not the hologram for your product and then you may avoid your customer complaint for this .

i didn't say they were region free in the listing, i l know that is a red flag....just when i explained to buyers afterwards, thanks for tip though and thanks jeffweico for understanding. always on the look for new no problem things to resell....

@teedon, why are you so determined to make out i am/was some kind kind of retard over this ?! Obviously in the listing i did not mention they were region free, only in subesequent messages from unhappy buyers....this was all on play.com anyway but yes i know stating region free in the listing is a big no-no. I would also suggest though that saying non-hologram was a bad idea too as any disney vero people are going to read that and have your listing removed. Disney don't make non-hologrammed dvds do they?

i have sold hundreds of dvds on amazon including Disney, amazon is like ebay they watch you closely for the first 30 days, start selling other items first then make sure you make a withdrawal from them before starting to list more heavily with the Disney dvd's

there is a lot more money to be made on amazon than ebay, especially selling dvds its a lot more easier selling there too, but if you start start very slowly, you cannot withdraw for the first 2 weeks of starting selling, build it up slowly tell you are selling hundreds a day

one of my friend sold music CD on ebay well . every CD have 3-10 USD profit and every day he can sell about 20-50 pieces . EBAYA pay more attention to Dvd. You really cant sell DVD for long time .

are you guys selling on amazon as a pro seller where you can create your own listings? or are you just selling the same items that other sellers are selling. i thought about getting into amazon just wasn't sure if i should go pro or not.

Disney DVDs, and DVDs in general are heartache and more problems sometimes than VER0.

sell Disney DVDs, fitness DVDs,is i risk what can i sell?:spy:

bill gates software:peace:

I have bought a few samples from a supplier in China. I bought a few TV seasons that I already own and let me tell you I really can't find any difference on most.

Make sure you have backups for Am az on if you are peddling DVDs - accounts go down on the regular.

Sometimes there's spelling mistakes on the box. You have to look really closely, word per word, most likely you will find one or two grammatical errors.

Not to mention that, even tho it may LOOK perfect, many f ake dvds will skip, freeze, or simply just not play. Its a risk, for sure.
