What if someone else is selling my Children's Book on Amazon? (All about the Amazon BUY BOX)
Did you know that our children's book can actually be sold by a 3rd party on Amazon? By someone other than just us? Now, whether this IS or isn't a good thing for us and our book, that's what this video is all about.

[@jilanneklaus]

amazing advice!! Thank you so much!

[@MeganKalmesBooks]

I had no clue this was possible, thanks so much for another great video! I'm getting ready to publish my first book this fall, I feel more prepared now ❤️

[@EeviJones]

Yay! That's wonderful! I just know you'll have a wonderful launch, Megan!

This happened to me! The 3rd party seller was selling my children's book hardcover for TWICE the price AND it was in the buy box! I was so upset and had no idea what to do. Amazon wouldn't do anything about it. I'm so glad you made this video, now I know that this is a regular thing and why it happens. Thank you so much for breaking this down, you have no idea how much sleep I've lost over this situation.

[@EeviJones]

I'm so, so happy to hear this helped!

[@katiegigliotti7356]

I’ve always wondered about this! Thank you for all your detailed information!

[@EeviJones]

I'm so, so glad this was helpful!

[@rikswinn2956]

This is so timely .My books been out a week and I noticed this morning that I had third party sellers. Now I’m not so confused…but boy! I thought technology was meant to make life easier !

[@EeviJones]

I'm so glad to hear this helped! And congratulations on your new book!

[@richardbrewer2684]

Thankyou Eevi

[@45artpm27]

Always so informative !

[@EeviJones]

That's so, so wonderful to hear!!

[@Roldanmattei]

Wonderful content! Something I was not aware of and that is super important. Eevi, you're incredible!!

[@EeviJones]

Thank you so, so much!!

[@lewinkaren]

Wow! Very informative…but also a bit confusing. Did not realize that this could happen, without our ‘consent’. The fact that 3rd party sellers can change the price of the book does not sit well with me. Yet I would want expanded distribution when I go to Ingram Spark. That would be the main reason I would go to them, so would not want to turn that off at IS.

[@EeviJones]

Yes, I agree. It can get quite tricky. But hopefully by keeping our price relatively steady, we as the author can keep the buy box.

[@FZWbooks]

This is a very interesting topic. Thank you!

[@EeviJones]

I'm so glad to hear you enjoyed it!!

[@NicoNicoAFK]

thank you !

[@EeviJones]

You're so very welcome!

[@Spillthepaintwithmaureen]

Thank you for the info! QUESTION; are the buy boxes only sold for the versions that aren’t through KDP? In other words, can my paperback buy box be sold as well as the Hard cover buy box? My paperback is through KDP and HC through IngramSpark? Wondering if I just not offer the HC on Amazon, only the KDP paperback and ebook, if this is the way around it. I would send my customers directly to a link for IS since they have that option now.

[@EeviJones]

You're very welcome, Maureen! Could you elaborate a bit more on what you mean by the buy box being "sold"

[@lindasachs8196]

Can authors sell their own book as a third party seller on Amazon? I purchased offset copies and wondered if I can be a seller.

[@EeviJones]

Hi Linda! How are you? You absolutely could. You would need to set up a regular seller or Amazon Advantage account.
