Dear Sellers,
July is just around the corner and we encourage those of you with textbooks on the shelves to take the next few weeks to prepare for the upcoming busy season. There are many things to consider as you head into textbook season. Are you selling on the best marketplaces for your inventory? Does your inventory comply with marketplace policy? Are you competitively priced? Answer these questions with help from our Selling Textbooks information page, where you'll also find tips on how to prevent double sales. Need help? Contact us for assistance.
We also recommend checking out Amazon's list of the Top Selling Textbooks for Spring 2010 for an Amazon wide look at popular textbook inventory. Compare the list to your own titles for review of stock, quantities, and prices. And don't forget the Amazon Textbook Selling Blog!
Shaun, Marc, Lee-Ann, Trish, and I will be in attendance at the Seattle Conference for Online Entrepreneurs from July 9th to 12th, 2010. Come see FillZ, Abebooks, Amazon, and many more! Click here for conference information and registration. Let us know if we can expect to see you there!
Happy Selling!
Jessica

I sold an item and the order was marked N/A. Why is the item still active?
FillZ does not decrement quantity of an item if the order is marked as N/A. Please pay special attention to these orders as they could indicate a double sale, or a delay in time between order placement and order retrieval. If the item is active and you'd like to ship it, please delete the listing manually.
Please click here for how to!

| CS Tip |
What does 'Expire inactive inventory' mean?
After items sell out or are deleted, FillZ stores the items as 'inactive' items. The 'Expire inactive inventory items after ___' option in your account settings will set an expiry date so FillZ can permanently delete the data.
How do I find items that are about to expire from my inactive inventory?
Viewing inactive inventory is easy! Click here for step-by-step instructions.

| 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!
