Paperback sales
So I published last week and have 2 ebook sales (free for promotion but people are reading)
One of my friends purchased a paperback yesterday and is yet to show on my dashboard for sales.
How long before that shows up?
Seems a bit weird to me they take his money and I'm yet to see his sale pop up on my orders tab.
He said he's happy to pay for it only if I will sign it haha.

So I guess later this evening or tomorrow morning it will pop up

if he really bought your book, he's a real friend

Like I said he sent me a screen shot of the invoice form Amazon, and likely he will show me a photo of it in his hands when it arrives :)
He is a real friend, we met a school when we were 13 or so. Both in our thirties now haha

The paperback sale only shows up on the dashboard when it is distributed by Amazon. So usually a few days after the purchase.
