Dear Sellers,

It's hard to believe that another month has already flown by! The seasons are changing fast and it's never a surprise that online media selling is too. Did you know that the popular book site Alibris.com is now a favorite shopping site for music and movie buyers? If you sell music and DVDs and haven't yet listed them on Alibris.com give it a try this spring! Click here for details.

A1Books is changing too! They've just launched new free seller stores to showcase your inventory. It's a great way for buyers to view your entire inventory under one roof and since it allows a personalized URL that links back to your A1Books store, it's perfect for promoting your items on social media sites like Facebook and Twitter. Check out A1's announcement here.

Keep reading for more exciting changes!

Happy Selling!

New Seller Corner

I have international shipping disabled in FillZ but received an AbeBooks order from an international buyer.

AbeBooks allows international shipping for all items. This cannot be disabled for a listing.

We recommend you review your international shipping fees in the AbeBooks shipping matrix to ensure you're covering your costs.

You can also request extra shipping for heavier items. Just remember, don't move the order from 'New' status until you've processed the order on AbeBooks and the buyer has been charged!

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!
