....AND no 10% selling fee that eBay extracts. That fee is too steep.
Craig's List, no charge.

Interesting. It must be some sort of configuration in your account. I’m on Amazon nearly every day and have never seen a link to TRADE IN NOW. I just searched for the lens in question and looked at the page on which it is listed. There is no link for that function that I can find. I’m perplexed.
I hadn't heard of this before either, but looking at a lens page (it seems to have to have prime) I can see a 'Have one to sell?' with a 'Sell on Amazon' button to the right of it, under where you add an item to your basket.

Yeah, that's one of the reasons why I gave up the Vettes and went with a BMW. 
So, you trying to start a war here? Just to help it along, given a choice between a BMW and a horse cart, I take the cart every time.

I take this to mean you have never driven or owned a BMW.

Have driven. Known several owners that weren't too happy. I prefer a good hot Volvo myself.

I sold some equipment to Adorama. The experience was very good. I expect KEH and B&H would be fair. Just remember they need to make a bit of money. e-bay and paypal take quite a bit.

I find KEH for buying and selling to be the best. Have had experience with both. B&H and Adorama are OK BUT buying and selling good used equipment is KEH's business and they do great at it. Did not realize Amazon bought used gear.

I had a camera that I tried to sell to them. I was returned stating the flash would not fire. The reason it wouldn't fire is that it was turned off on the menu. One would think a person inspecting cameras would see this. Yes I should have reset the camera. I think the person inspecting wasn't very knowledgable.
the evaluation personnel at Amazon are not knowledgeable at all they just follow a flow chart as the test. They are not technicians in any way the are warehouse workers that applied and got the position.
You may wonder how i am so certain of this, well its because i worked as an Amazon associate for a few years.

I had the exact thing happen to me with a Canon lens. The lens was 2 months old, I couldn't sell it on Craigslist,so I sent to Amazon expecting the maximum amount for it. They credited me with a lesser amount because I had microscopic scratches. Its part of their standard operation I also sold them a camera which was a year old and they did give me the maximum amount for it. No more lenses for Amazon!

sell your product on Ebay if you think that works. Never heard of that type mixup with Amazon, really

Why not sell the lens right here on UHH classified?
Now that is what I thought of but failed to mention. I think most of us on this site are true fotoggers and are honest. At least I hope we are.

Sorry, can’t find any such thing on Amazon. Once again, are you SURE you don’t mean Adorama?
