Question of the Day

How Does Amazon Work?

Amazon is where you can buy or sell stuff. Like you might buy something for Christmas or a birthday whatever it is here is how they get it to you. Amazon Is also AWESOME because you can buy gifts secretly so they won’t know.

At Amazon central they have robots that drive shelves around the business organizing the better. The robots know where to go because there is black lines that they follow. When something is sold the robot goes and gets the shelf with the object that was bought and brings it to a person who gets it off the shelf and puts it in a yellow bin. The big stuff that is sold is lifted by a different kind of robot that can’t move. The whole building is probably about the size of 2 Walmarts! Later the yellow bins get put on a treadmill which goes to a person who takes the stuff scans it and puts it in another bin all by itself. Than they go on another treadmill to where the stuff is boxed up and sent to you.

When something that you listed to be sold on Amazon sells you get an email which says how much you sold it for, the name of the object and the condition note. Than you will pay for the shipping package it up and mail it. You will want to mail them fast because if you don’t you could get bad rating. I don’t know if I have gotten a good or bad rating because it says that You are new for about one year.

I sell stuff on Amazon all the time mostly books. It is easier than Ebay because they already have the picture and all that stuff. I keep track of all the stuff. Like how much money I earned, how much tithing I owe and all that stuff. Sometimes I get a book from someone else and they might say I want 40% of how much that book sells for. So I calculate that too and pay them. I sell a book about every week or two. That is how Amazon works.

I love Amazon because you can sell stuff you do not need anymore. I get books from my Aunt Mimi who works at the thrift store. My Mom also gives me books to sell. I got a book once from Heather Kile she said that I had to give her 40% of the book. The book sold the next day!  Doing Amazon is also on my goals for school. At the very beginning when I first started selling books I found a book that was worth $65! I thought that was crazy, but as I kept going I found more books worth that much and more. I think everyone should learn to sell on Amazon. Then they can get rid of the stuff they don’t need, just like me and I don’t just sell book I sell some other stuff too. That is Amazon.
