FillZ Newsletter

November, 2009

Dear Sellers,

We're all focused on the Holiday Selling Season and this leaves little time to think about what's coming up next. Before the holiday dust has even settled textbook sellers will be heading into yet another textbook season. Amazon has just released their list of the Top 100 Selling Textbooks for Fall 2009. The list offers an Amazon wide look at popular textbook inventory which can be used by sellers to compare to their own titles for review of stock, quantities, and prices. Take a look and optimize your selling opportunities!

We also encourage textbook sellers to review our Textbooks Help Page for some valuable pointers to help textbook sellers have a successful season. January is not as far away as we think!

Happy Selling!

New Features

Mailing Labels - We're very excited to announce the addition of Mailing Labels to the FillZ Orders page! Mailing Labels include the buyer shipping address and can easily be added to any package. Choose your own dimensions and print to fit your needs. Click here for set up details and let us know what you think!

eBay Listing - Want to re-list your closed items without having to submit a Re-filter? Now you can! Go to "Settings" -> "Marketplaces" -> "Configuration for eBay" to activate the 'Re-list closed items upon modification?' setting. If checked, your closed eBay listings will automatically re-list upon modification and a Re-filter will not be necessary. This will incur listing fees. If you do not want your closed listings to automatically re-list upon modification do not activate this setting.

Marketplace News

Alibris - Last month Alibris announced a new partnership with the online marketplace Buy.com. Many of you have shown interest in Buy.com and we think this is a great way to try it out. Please contact Alibris for details.

Amazon - Amazon's counting down to the Holiday Season with daily Holiday Selling Tips for Amazon sellers. Click here to check out the Amazon Seller Success forum for selling ideas and other tips.

Holiday Giving

eBay Giving Works - Since 2003, eBay has offered sellers the chance to turn their listings into a force for good with eBay Giving Works. Donate a portion or the total of an item's final sale price to a nonprofit organization that you support. FillZ cannot create eBay Giving Works listings, but we think this is a pretty cool program worth sharing. Click here for details on how you can give this holiday season.

Give for Literacy - The American Library Association provides a detailed list of organizations in need of book or monetary donations within the United States as well as overseas. Organizations like Book Ends and International Book Project are among those listed. Click here for more information from the ALA.

Referral Program

FillZ rewards clients who refer our business to their friends and associates. Here's how it works:
1. You spread the word about FillZ.
2. A new client references your FillZ user name or store name at sign-up. **It is very important for the new seller to use either of these two identifiers.
3. We credit your account in the amount that the new client pays to FillZ after the first full month of chargeable services.

It's that easy!
