Default Play.com anyone tried it?

Hi Guys,
Just thought I would ask if anyone had tried selling on Play.com?

Just set up an account thought I would give it a go.

Anyone any tips?



Thanks

You are not allowed to create new listings on Play.com. You can sell your stuff under existing listings only. I got in touch with them regarding this problem because i had many items unsold after my amazon and ebay accounts had been blocked. I got a verbal refusal "this is a permanent limitation for all sellers". Ok, I started selling what i found available. After 2 months i checked once again and was suprised that they had extended their stock. Needed items were offered by a strange seller with no rating. Those were top SKUs but i haven't sold any yet since i listed them. I keep selling different stuff there but am not happy with results at all. Play.com is suitable for getting rid of smth, it will not deliver big money to you but still i would advise to try them. Probably it depends on what u are selling. They focus on DVDs and other media stuff, i focus on elecronics goods. Also my Play.com account was blocked after 1st month of sales. They said I had sold too many items and wanted me to provide them with my suppliers invoices, id and brief description of what my business was. I thought i had no chance because i had had severe experience with dealing with amazon and ebay. Anyway i decided to try and uploaded some invoices and copy of my ID. After 3 weeks waiting i got in touch with them once again and they asked to prove somehow that my goods were authentic, the reason for that was "only f_a_k_e could cost so cheap". I emailed them some explanations saying smth like "We had to close down our real store front because rent had gone up and therefore now we need to sell everything as quick as possible, price didn't really matter". That was enough and my play.com account was reopened. Probably 100% feedback helped. I requested an urgent disbursement and now i keep selling slowly.

I did have up to 20 orders a day on play.com (UK) but like i said they put my account under review after that and I think I was lucky to be approved. It's quite easy to do well there but be ready to get blocked. Even if you can provide them with all the necessaries they ask for just bear in mind it will take much time to be cosidered properly. Their UK support service costs more than 1 GBP per minute, also as for me those assistants are absolutely non professional and really annoying. They want you to email all your queries to them but as the result i have a big collection of automatically generated replies which are not helpful at all.

Well my account has been blocked. They are asking for feedback, i told them how can i make a buyer leave me a feedback of they do not bother with it.
I have all the tracking number for the orders, from ebay and amazon experience i learnt to not to post anything without tracking has this is handy
Also i sell items that are chaep due to the fact i did not need them and wanted to get rid off.
I have never ever dealth with phake not i intend to, not worth the hassle nor i believe in it
Customer service was hopeless, kept going email buyers and tell them to leave feedback.

DUH HOW CAN I WHENI DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO THE ACCOUNT

Has anyone got some input in this?

What happens if you get suspended/blocked and you still have funds left in your selling account?
Do they hold it like amazon for a period of time before you can disburse it to your bank account or you lost your sales money?

I'm trying to list on play.com but get the following message.

"Your item cannot be sold via PlayTrade at this time.
Sorry, but the sale of some items via PlayTrade is restricted".

Is this because I'm registered as a basic seller and not a protrader or because of vero?

Yep being a basic seller you can only sell stuff like CD's, DVD's Books etc, I doubt you can sell software

Figures, I'm not sure if it's worth subscribing - do you know if you can downgrade the account after becoming a protrader?? I think I read somewhere about being credit checked aswell?

Im am a basic trader,

boxsets are worth selling,

cds, dvds not so much re profits,

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.
