Where to Sell Used Books Online for Top Dollars

This blog title has been optimized using Keyword Winner

My favorite places to sell used books online for top dollars are amazon.com, ebay.com, Half.com, bluerectangle.com, ckybooks.com, bookbyte.com, and Craiglist.org. Depending on what categories your books are in, you can get exposed to millions of buyers, no cost in listing your books for sale, and in some instants, receive fast quotes and quick payments from book buy-back websites.

Advantages of selling used books online?

• After getting quotes or list your books online, you only have to make 1 trip to the post office vs. lugging your heavy books to sell at used bookstores all over town.
• With buyback websites, you’ll know exactly how much you’re getting paid for your books.
• There is no cost in listing your books for sale, you only have to pay percentage fees when you sell them.
• Most of the these websites can do direct deposit to your PayPal account or bank account so your money is available faster than waiting for a check in the mail.

Websites where you can sell your used books for top dollars:

• Amazon.com – This is my current and most favorite website to sell used books. With its generous shipping allowance and no listing fee upfront, I can list my books for as long as they’re available. It also allows me to list practically any book in any category for sale. It’s even better and more profitable now with its FBA program. Want to learn how using FBA can make you more money?

• Ebay.com – Ebay auctions can be a great method to get top dollars for your books especially if you often have access to complete book series for popular authors. For example, certain paranormal book series enjoy fast sales and multiple bids. I rarely list single book on Ebay any more due to its listing fees.

• Half.com – In my experience, I look at Half.com as similar to amazon.com except its shipping allowance is not as generous ($3.07 vs. $3.99 on Amazon.com). Personally, I’m comfortable with the listing interface for Amazon and since the arrival of the FBA program, I find myself exclusively using Amazon.com to sell most of my books.

• Bluerectangle.com, Ckybooks.com, Bookbyte.com – If you have lots of textbooks or nonfiction books in very good condition, you could try to sell them on these book buyback websites. They specialize in buying and selling books which most often fall in the non-fiction and general-interest categories. When I happen upon a chance to purchase books in bulk, I usually check these websites to see if I can turn around my bulk purchases for quick cash.

• Craigslist.org – I used to sell some of my books here but with small kids at home, I get concern when more than a few buyers want to do pick up instead of paying for postage to have me mailed their books to them. I still use Craigslist to find items to buy but not to sell my books anymore.

There you have my favorite places to sell books online. If you’re just started with your used books selling business, my advice is to go with Amazon.com and their FBA program. You’ll earn more for your efforts and have fun in the process as well.
