Whether you are looking to make a few dollars by clearing your bookshelves or thinking you’d like to make a career out of it, selling books on Amazon.com is an easy and inexpensive way to turn books into cash.

Why Choose Amazon?

Although there are many ways to sell books online, Amazon.com offers many advantages to a would-be bookseller.

  1. There are no listing fees. Unlike many other online marketplaces, Amazon does not charge sellers a fee to list their books. Amazon does collect a commission once the book sells.
  2. Amazon does the promotion. There is no need to take and upload product photos, market or advertise. Amazon has book photos and descriptions all ready for you and they have a substantial client base ready to buy from you.
  3. It’s easy. Once you’ve followed the simple step-by-step instructions found on the amazon.com website, you simply describe the condition of your book and set your asking price.
  4. The initial investment is very low. Setting up an account is free and you can sell books right off your own bookshelves to get started. Books can be had for $1 or less at dollar stores, yard sales, estate sales, Goodwill and Salvation Army thrift stores and library book sales.

Easy Steps

  1. Collect books to sell. Go through your own collection, see if your library gives away unwanted books for free, ask friends for books they no longer want or use.
  2. Create an Amazon account if you don’t already have one. If you’ve bought anything from amazon.com, you already have an account, you only need to sign into your account and set yourself up as a seller by clicking on the "Sell your stuff" link. Can’t find the link? Just type in a book you have to sell and when the listing comes up, click the "Sell One Here" button and you’re in the right place.
  3. List your book. On the "Sell Your Stuff" page just type in the title or ISBN for your book. Then describe the condition and set the price.
  4. Once a book sells, Amazon will e-mail you and let you know. In the e-mail they send, you just click the link they give you and you're in the right place to manage your order. Print the invoice/packing slip and cut off the buyer’s address from the form you've just printed. Wrap the invoice around the book, and wrap the book in bubble wrap. Slide the book into an envelope and tape the buyer’s address to the front of the envelope. Now it’s ready to ship. Media mail (formerly known as "book rate") is an economical choice when mailing books, but first class sometimes costs only a few cents more and will get your book to your buyer faster, so ask for both rates at the post office. You can also print postage right from home. For more information on how to do that, see the United States Postal Service website. Amazon provides $3.99 for shipping, which amply covers most shipping costs.
  5. Get paid. Once every two weeks Amazon deposits the proceeds for the sale of your books into your bank account including the $3.99 for shipping, and minus their commission.
