subject: Gain More Profit By Selling Used Books Online [print this page] Anyone that is in college is familiar with how much textbooks cost to purchase, and how little you get in return when you sell them back to the bookstore. It is a huge money making situation for the company, and a big loss for the student. It is outrageous that you will only get a few pennies on the dollar in return.
This is a borderline scam that is obvious to many, but accepted by all, and schools and contracted bookstore companies are making big bucks off of your education.
Did you know that you can get into this business and get your money back and maybe even more? Why give it away to a greedy institution when you can keep it for yourself. You can go online and sell your books for a lot more money than through the bookstore.
On Amazon.com, they do charge a listing fee based on what price you decide to sell your book at. But, if you don't sell the book, the good news is that you are not stuck with the fee. Amazon has better search engine coverage, and people think they are buying direct from them. Sometimes people get nervous on ebay because they don't know for sure if they are getting ripped off.
Amazon differs from Ebay because people think they are buying their books from a company and somebody that may rip them off. While this is not true, perception is everything and that may help move your book faster. Also, Amazon.com is known for selling books in the first place. They will charge you a listing fee that will be based on your asking price, but you don't have to pay anything unless you actually sell your book.
Only the big sites that do this all the time have earned the trust of the public, and they also have customer feedback and reviews, and people like that.
Since these sites have systems in place to legitimize their operations, people flock to them because they know that they can find a legitimate product.
The only other thing you need is a Pay Pal account that will enable the buyer to give you money. There is nothing to setting one up and will receive your funds in no time at all.
