Title: An Amazon store in South Africa?
Post by: Marti Talbott on January 19, 2020, 11:01:41 AM
I was contacted by someone in South Africa who buys from Google. She asked how she could get my books that are exclusive to Amazon, so I went looking and here is what I found.

Is this an actual South Africa Amazon store and if so, is anyone selling/getting paid?

PS. there's a store in China, you know, and I have never seen a sale there.

The links on the page seem to take me to .com. To the best of my knowledge, that's where South Africans would need to shop.

I believe the China store still doesn't have ebooks, and there are only a select group of self-published paperbacks. I get the impression China doesn't trust self-publishing all that well.
