Third Party Sales / Who is listed as your Publisher?

Who is your Publisher based off your ISBN choice on CS:

All this talk about Royalties and Third Party Sales. I have to say as an author I had no idea this was how it worked. The Publisher I use takes care of all this for me. I never have to worry legally how to track down my money. They do it for me!

 

A lot of my Self-Publishing Authors friends have taken the liberty to hand over research they had done on their own tacking down those Sellers on Amazon who have a store selling there work.  

 

See when you chose CS free ISBN or CS $10.00 IBSN you are excepting Createspace as the listed Publisher.  If you buy the one they list cheaper than on the Bowker site then its $99.00. That one or any you have already or bought you then can list your Publisher.

 

OK so here it is the SP economic route ISBN route through CS = Createspace as Publisher and Distributer

 

Bowker discount offered on CS $99.00 or $125.00 for 1 on Bowker website = Your Own name or Publisher’s name as Publisher and You choose your distributer.

Third party sales!!

 

Amazon Third Party Retail Sales

 

 

Retailers, including Amazon, allow third-parties to sell products on their websites. If your book is available through the Amazon.com or Amazon Europe sales channels, then these third-party sellers may also list your book for sale on your Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.de, Amazon.fr, Amazon.es and Amazon.it detail pages. CreateSpace is not directly affiliated with these sellers and cannot control the selling price and condition (new or used) of these listings. Here are some examples of these types of listings:

•          Sellers can list your book for sale without physical inventory on-hand. When the seller receives a customer order, they then place an order from Amazon.com, Amazon’s European websites or CreateSpace to fulfill this demand and drop-ship it to the customer. At that time, your title is manufactured; you earn a royalty, and the order is sent to the end customer.

•          For books enrolled in Expanded Distribution, third-party sellers can create listings on various retail sites both domestically and internationally. These sellers can source your title from the distributors we work with through Expanded Distribution, to fulfill customer orders. Once the title is manufactured, an Expanded Distribution royalty will be reported in your account within 8 weeks.

•          Sellers can list used copies of your title for sale. If a used copy is sold, you will not receive a royalty for this sale because you previously received the royalty when the title was manufactured and originally sold.

•          Copies that you purchase of your own title, also known as member orders, may end up being listed for sale on a retail site. Member orders are purchased at a discounted price and do not earn you a royalty. If you give these copies away or sell them to a wholesaler, it's possible that they may become available for purchase on a retail site. Keep in mind that once your book is in distribution, it can change hands multiple times. If this happens, you will not receive a royalty for the sale because the title is re-sold using a book that you originally purchased at a discounted rate.

 

Earned Royalties

 

For books, CDs, and DVDs, you earn royalties every time we manufacture a product to fulfill a new customer order placed on Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.de, Amazon.fr, Amazon.es and Amazon.it, your eStore, or through Expanded Distribution.

Royalties for your title may occur without a royalty payment if the item is listed by a third-party reseller, or "Marketplace" seller. You have already been paid a royalty from the first time the unit was manufactured, even if the reseller lists the item's condition as "new."

We cannot control, track, or pay royalties on previously purchased copies of your title through other resellers or distribution channels; you are only paid royalties for new copies of your title that we manufacture to fulfill orders.

OK Kiddies are we caught up now? Just because the Store/Vendor lists your books does not mean they are being sold so you have Royalties coming in period! The Publisher if you have the Free or $10.00 ISBN number allows Createspace to act as your Publisher. If you bought the $99.00 or your own from Bowker then you can choose this option.

 

HELLO!!!!!!!!
