How to Make Money Selling Used Books on Amazon
If you want to sell some used books and do not wish to have a yard sale, you can offload them on Amazon. This way you can also make money on books that you do not need anymore. On the other hand, Amazon requires that you find your book name in their online store. In majority of the cases, your used book is already placed in their large collection. This saves time as you will not need to create page of every book and increases the chances that a buyer looking for a book title will see yours in the list of available items.
Things Required:
– Internet access
– List of books
– Packaging and mailing materials
– pricing strategy

Resale worth
Provide a business name on the portal as well before you list your books. Know that non-fiction, hardcover editions have a better resale value than other books. Press on List Single Items. Another menu will open and the default menu is Book. You can write the title of the book or the ISBN number. If you turn the book over and examine the back, you will find the ISBN number. Also, you have to mention the condition of the book. Try to be honest as someone will buy your things and they will rate you as well after the sale. It is better to list your book as Used-Like New. This condition means that your book does not have any writing or highlighting in it. -

Further instructions
If you just wish to get rid of your old books and make profits, it is advised to list your books at a lower price. This will increase the probability of selling them quickly. Moreover, check the prices of your competitor selling the same book and list your book a few cents cheaper, as this will increase the demand for your books.
