Amazon Booksellers Offers $15.00 To Try EasySell Program - Does it Make Selling Your Books and CDs Better?

Amazon has just unveiled a promotion called "Easysell" which can be seen here: www.amazon.com/gp/seller/fba/fba_easysell.html Basically, Amazon is offering $15.00 to anyone willing to try the program as a way to sell books, CDs, old DVDs, etc. . Is it cost-effective? Does it simplify things? Can you make money by sending your books and other items to Amazon and letting them sell and ship them for you, eliminating any need to go to the post office or print your own shipping labels? Is this a nice, quick way to ship off the stuff you don't want to have around the house at Christmas and maybe rake in some money during the year, helping to pay for those holiday gifts?

Maybe so, maybe not. Here is the intriguing part: You can list and sell on any venue and have Amazon ship the products for you. That is certainly an interesting twist as noted in this question listed in Amazon's questions:

Can I use Fulfillment by Amazon if I dont sell on the Amazon.com Web site?

As noted by Amazon: "Yes. You can ship your product units to us, and we will pick, pack and ship the items to your customers when you tell us to. This allows you to sell your products on other platforms but still take advantage of our fulfillment centers and our experience in shipping products."

In short, you no longer have to store your books or other items at home. Even more tempting.. maybe. But here's my question: what happens if you sell an item on Amazon and another site on the same day? Hmmm?
Here is how the program theoretically works (wonder how it works in actual practice):



You, the potential seller, send in your items to Amazon. They can be books, CDs, old DVDs and/or video games. Then Amazon will keep track of your items, ship them to buyers and send you the money. The $15.00? That is an incentive to try the program. For 60 days, you can try it out for free, plus you get that $15.00.
