Hello folks. So my initial excitement with Amazon has turned to crap. I have paid over $120 in fees, had my credit card locked twice because of their billing process and I haven't sold a single book. I am going to cancel my "Seller" account and try again under an "Author's " account. But I want to see if I lose control over the quality. If I do, it is not worth it. I have also checked into selling my books on Ebay and they would charge me 15% on each book sold plus a listing fee. That means that they would take $8.25 for each book sold. I am already making a minimal profit and this would kill it for me. I think "Author on Amazon" will also charge about the same amount. Wow is this the capitalist free-market dream? Not for me it isn't. When I can sell my books direct, you save and I save. So I am back to the drawing board trying to figure out a way to get my books to you and not get scammed. Anyone got any ideas? I never intended to make a lot of money selling books but I don't want to lose money either. In the mean time I keep working on my volume two and three.
