Chuckle of the day from the NSFE

I was thinking about putting this in the ‘Lighten Up’ section, but it is to good (hey, I’m easily amused some days) to not share what the rookies are saying on the NSFE –

Some days I am too kind in my replies. Other days I am my normal, charming self…:smiling_face_with_sunglasses::smiling_face_with_sunglasses::rofl::rofl::rofl:

The sheer inanity that proliferates over there remains mind-boggling to me.

P.S. - I read your post - my condolences upon your loss.

Pretty sure unless @thisisfine posts that on YouTube or TikTok and charges $500 for a sure fire way to save money they won’t be able to figure it out… :smiling_face_with_horns:

What’s gotten me on the NSFE recently is the number of people who recently shipped stuff to FBA (you know, the season when EVERYONE is stocking up for Q4), and can’t understand why their stuff isn’t showing up 3-4 days after it was delivered.

You know the reason! Because AMAZON and their cohorts the Tiktok Gurus have misrepresented FBA as the way to make money(or become a millionaire) the easy way. Lay back and let AMAZON do the work for a price!!! HAH!!

Never done FBA but from what I read, it’s just as difficult as FBM-though in different ways- and only good for high-volume sellers. As a used books seller, would never attempt it though you do it successfully.

Haven’t the knack of what titles, beyond the NYT top 20, which we don’t sell, are quick sellers! Scout a title assuming will sell in 2-3 months; eventually sells in a year!!

Not sure if it’s @dwat0870 but my favorite was the screenshot-by-screenshot of vacation settings :laughing:

It’s funny to us, but also very helpful to newbies who are the type to poke around on Seller Central–without clicking anything dangerous.

You may want to check out my current adventure playing with capacity settings to see what Amazon would do.

It’s worse than I expected and I have VERY LOW expectations when it comes to Amazon!

I have it posted in the “explain it to me” post…https://test.sellersasksellers.com/t/explain-to-me-like-im-a-5-year-old-handling-time-gap/4504
