Selling books on Ebay

Post Reply New Topic

I recently came up with the idea of selling old cast off books on Ebay to earn a little money. My mom has tons of old books that are just sitting in the garage that she is willing to let me sell, and I got some books off Freecycle that I plan to sell. Old books don't go for much money, maybe a couple dollars each, but it's better than nothing, and I can get them for free. Anybody tried something like this?

I used to sell all kinds of things on ebay at different periods in my life.
Just so you know, it costs to list something.
A few years back ebay changed some of it's policies to where sellers could not leave feedback, but buyers can, meaning buyers have more power.
Some things sell, some don't.
Before you bother listing anything, look that item up on ebay to see if there are already 30 of them listed.
Now, the good part- you can add a "handling fee" that is included in the shipping estimate. I used to add a dollar or two.
Some buyers are great, some are spoiled housewife types that love to complain.
