Selling Books on Ebay or Amazon?
Hi All,

I have some textbooks that are no longer being used in courses and some novels that will be bought back for only $1 (when I bought them for $15). I was thinking of selling them on Ebay or Amazon or something like that instead. Has anyone ever tried that? I've never used those types of websites before and I was hoping for some advice on this.

Thank you in advance!

Yes you can sell them on eBay/Amazon, lots of people buy them from there.

Remember, though, don't sell heavy textbooks or large books (novels you mentioned should be fine), because the shipping costs are going to be too much, and most likely the buyer wont want to pay for it, especially if you need to ship it somewhere in the states.

Though for novels eBay or Amazon would be a good option.

Why would anyone buy it online if its that cheap brand new elsewhere? Also dont forget you're going to be charging them shipping too, so its a turn off.
