Having been up all night, I find myself needing to wait at least two more hours until the post office opens. Someone bought a book from me on Amazon, and it needs to ship.
All told, the Amazon marketplace experiment has been pretty successful for me. I still haven't been rated by anyone, so either there's something I don't understand about that process, or I just haven't been exceptional enough for people to bother with it.
I've profited about 25 bux or so, assuming all the books cost me nothing. Which they didn't. But I was going to give them away, so as self-delusions go, it's safe to say I'm coming out ahead on the deal.

May be neither misunderstanding nor dull performance. People complain more naturally than they praise.
I bought a CD - alomst wrote an album - secondhand on Amazon and the seller sent me a separate e-mail asking for a good rating. That did the trick for me or I wouldn't have bothered.
I do that when I notify them that the order has shipped, FlakCat. I suppose I need a way to remind myself to check if the shipment arrived, and then send an email asking if everything's cool, and, oh, by the way, could you rate me?
Yeah, the Amazon thing is weird...nothing on the site prompts you to leave feedback, like say eBay. I buy used stuff on Amazon pretty frequently, and have to remind myself to go on there and leave feedback, and you have to poke around a little in 'your account' to get there. Plus they only want you to comment on the condition of the item, so some people might be put off by that restriction... Don't take it to heart.
