How to Sell Textbooks on Amazon


Recently I just started selling textbooks on amazon. Now I'm going to show you how to do it. Please note that amazon only allows to sell items that is already on their catalog.

1. Every textbook has a unique textbook ISBN number. This is a very useful info when finding your book.
2. Decide whether you want to trade in your book directly to amazon or sell it to other users.

3a. If you decide to trade in your book go to the textbook department and click sell your book. Enter in the ISBN code and find the textbook that you want to trade in. Verify the ISBN code and click confirm. Choose the your package carrier. I just used usps as my carrier. Print the shipping label. Package up your textbook and attach the label. Drop it off at your package carrier and you are done.

3b. If you decide to sell your textbook directly to other users. Make a seller account. Click on the add product. Then find the textbook ISBN code and search for it. Make sure the book is the one you are selling. To check how much click on the used link on the side. I usually price mine pretty low just so it will sell faster. Once someone buys it amazon will contact you via email. You just need to print the shipping info. All the instructions will be on the sheet. Go to your postal service. Buy the postage. Its a good thing to get a tracking number although they do charge you for it. After you ship the product go back to your sellers account. Click the shipped button on your orders page. This will let the buyer know that you have shipped their item. Include the carrier & tracking number if applicable. Then you are done.

Thanks for reading & good luck.
