Q. Amazon.com doesn't have an option to purchase extended warranty and i'd like to get one for a camera on that website. Is it possible to purchase outside warranty for a camera on amazon.com? if so, where? Asked by fistoflegendz - Tue Jan 13 03:53:59 2009 - - 1 Answers - 1 Comments A. Yes, apparently B&H offers them, so check other camera retailers. But why? Consumer Reports says it is money down the drain. Answered by retiredPhil - Wed Jan 14 16:21:10 2009 Is it possible to return an opened item from Amazon.com for a full refund? Q. I recently purchased a PSP 2000 system from amazon.com, and I realized shortly after that it wasn't the kind I was hoping for, so I wanted to be able to return it. It says opened items can only be returned for 50% of the price, but I have all of the boxes and materials it came with, and I only used it once or twice. Is it at all possible to return it? If not, do I have any other alternatives to get my money back? Asked by Glukster - Fri Sep 4 23:00:30 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments What is involved in selling used books on Amazon.com or Ebay?
Q. What accounts do I need to set up? Besides an account with Amazon, that is. I have a paypal account. Do I need to set up a USPS account to get ready to mail the books out? What should I expect from the transactions in terms of getting money from Amazon? Does it take a lot of time? Do I need to take a picture of the book and upload it to amazon? Asked by John - Thu Jul 23 16:34:55 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. For ebay, you need an ebay and paypal account. Paypal also helps you with shipping. They pay you as soon as the buyer pays them. With Amazon, you need an amazon account and their payment system. It takes them a little longer to pay you, but their fees are lower. It helps to take your own digital picture. Most folks use a stock picture or get permission from another seller to use their picture. It does take some time to pull this off, so some people recommend doing it only for items that give you a profit margin of more than $3-5 an item.
