From a recent thread:
For used books, Amazon typically accepts alternative documentation instead of direct publisher receipts. According to Seller Central’s Used Book Condition Guidelines, you can provide:
Invoices from legitimate distributors/wholesalers
Documentation showing legal acquisition through estate sales, library sales, or bulk purchases
Business licenses and documentation if you operate a used bookstore
Made me mad enough to debunk it.
Show of hands for how many think that last (the only one that is not simply impossible) would work. Ever.
Yeah, agreed. Total bull#@!$. I wonder where that info even came from? I have never seen that specific wording before that post, or anything even close to it, specific to books.
Absurd. The typical receipt I get from a library (if one at all) is nothing more than a note pad page with a bunch of numbers written on it and added up (sometimes not even added up!).
Spending WAY too much time over there it seems that at least some of the MODS are venturing away from cut and paste Amazon approved text and are venturing into ‘different’ wording.
Some of it is much more direct while some shows a scattershot approach that is not grounded in anything approaching Amazon reality as long term sellers and any readers of the different versions of the NSFE would recognize.
These days I’m no longer surprised when I respond with one of my templates on the ‘new rules’ for selling and the only thing a MOD does is say ‘see the above’ referring to MY post on the (new and improved) enforced policies.
It’s evolving more rapidly than I thought possible a couple years ago.
