A serious problem. We need to update Paypal on our about-to-be-updated website but Paypal no longer provides readymade buttons. They, like all other systems apparently, require coding, which is beyond us. Does any system provide readymade payment methods?

A little progress. Amazon algorithms still won't show our version of #thesatyricon in its general search "Satyricon" when it comes up with 400+ other titles.
But . . . if you enter "Satyricon play", finally we come up! Time for a glass of Falernian wine 🙂

The Amazon saga continues as their algorithms continue to hide our book months after its launch. Got a spare moment? Ask @AmazonUK why they are refusing to show "The Satyricon, a play" by Martin Foreman in their search results? We will be eternally grateful. 🙂

NEWS: Edinburgh-based playwright Martin Foreman (@actserious) is to publish a new volume of short play scripts on his @ArberyBooks imprint on August 28 2023, with a heavy discount for pre-purchases.

[The Satyricon @thesatyricon]

The @AmazonUK saga continues (their algorithms have been hiding our playscript for months)
We currently have two cases open (ID 8832455742 and 8830534882) and we keep getting asked the same info
Here's the playscript entered twice to see if that makes a difference - it doesn't 🙄

[Arbery Books @ArberyBooks]

@Valancourt_B Happy to retweet. We're having the same problem with @AmazonUK which still doesn't display our playscript of @thesatyricon after weeks of exchanges with their "help" system.

[Valancourt Books @Valancourt_B]

We posted two new books up for preorder a little while ago, but Twitter algorithms didn't show them to anybody, so we're posting them again! Two new gems, Tom Reamy's BLIND VOICES (1978) and Thomas Tessier's THE NIGHTWALKER (1979), now up for preorder on our site at a discount!

I have just listed: 'Petronius' Satyricon', for 10.99 via @amazon https://t.co/f2kZEXoTVE
Which would be good news if you could find the title on Amazon Search, but after weeks of complaining to the support team, it's still invisible to the algorithms 😞 @thesatyricon

"It made me feel disgusted with myself. Going back and letting him do it to me again. At times I wanted to kill myself. It's been a nightmare."
An accusation. Who do you believe?

HT Hey, you down there! What's going on?
LL Did she wake up?
HT No.
LL Well, she should. We've got an intruder.
ST What do you mean, an intruder?
LL My partner has gone. There's a stranger in her place.

MRS G What time is your appointment?
G They'll be there all day.
MRS G They?
G Two gentlemen.
MRS G I see. It's haddock for dinner.
G Delicious, dear.

Try every search term but after 6 months on @AmazonUK my Satyricon still does not show. For weeks customer service has given me generic responses but nothing has changed. You can buy this unique book on other websites but it's invisible on the most popular website. #censorship
