Amazon Bundling Series and Discounting it!

742 Views 4 Replies 3 Participants Last post by  X. Aratare
I just saw when I searched for my name Aratare (as I do on Amazon to check everything's there, any new reviews, etc.) that now 4 of the Merman books in my 5-book Merman series are shown as bundled together for a lower price basically, if you want all 4 books you pay X.  This isn't a scam artist. I appears Amazon is doing this itself. However, the link's not working.  So it appears this might be something Amazon is beta testing.  I'd like them to put all 5 books into the bundle ...

I'm sure under the TOS it allows them to do this. I'm curious if they'll pay me 70% of the discounted price or 70% of what the actual prices are.

Anyone else seeing this?

Amazon is only recognizing four books in the series, it seems.    The series shown is four books, not five.  Note that Amazon will show the price to buy the books in the series that you don't already own.  If you've purchased one of your own books, the price shown will be to complete the series.

Ah, that's good to know. And handy. I like that. Of course, I would like it if they did discount the bundle if bought all at once, but I can see not everyone liking that.
Yeah, I'd like that, too. Maybe that will be a future enhancement.

Why don't you bundle your own works and sell them at a discounted price? I did that with the first three books and I get some sales now and again.

One of my series has a bundle page by Amazon but it's not discounted. There's a thread around here about it somewhere.

Added: I don't think yours is being discounted either. 4 books- [email protected], [email protected] = 9.96, what they're selling it for.
My series only has 3 books in it instead of 4 because the last book came out after they made the page. They emailed me and said the last book couldn't be added to the bundle yet but would be sometime in the future.
Yeah, math ... clearly not my strong point. I was just surprised (and pleased) to see this though it doesn't appear to work yet.
