In today's virtual world, the old, expensive, ancient bookstore is slowly becoming a thing of the past. Nowadays, if you want to buy a book, you simply have to do an online search and that's it. The easiest way to find books is eBay, the popular auction site. In addition to buying books, on eBay you can try your hand at the art of selling yourself. If you want, you can also set up a real virtual bookstore.
Steps
Step 1. Whether you have to sell one or a thousand books, you will first need to create the ad
To do this, you will need to register on eBay. Once registered, you can start selling. Create an account and follow eBay's instructions to set up your account
Step 2. Accept the terms and conditions for sale
These also include accepted and permitted payment methods.
- The most used payment method is PayPal. A PayPal account is like a credit card that you can use to transfer money to your bank account and vice versa.
- The PayPal account relies on the Visa circuit and allows you, after a trial period, to receive a real credit card.
Step 3. Get ready to sell
You can use your PayPal account, or other payment methods to pay for listing taxes. Typically, these are billed monthly.
Step 4. Sell the book
Log into eBay and click on "Sell".
- You will be asked for the book's ISBN number. This number is typically found on the cover, back, or publisher information page, typically the third page. Type the number, eBay should automatically retrieve the information about the book, including the cover.
- You will see a form to be completed in 5 steps, including entering the conditions of the book, the price and the method of shipping and payment.
- You will be asked to fill in a description section. Give information on the edition if they are not present on the cover.
Step 5. Write down any torn pages or binding problems
This information is important. Be honest in the description, otherwise, the buyer may leave you negative feedback and decide not to buy from you anymore.
Step 6. Choose whether to sell at auction or through a "BuyNow" advertisement
Also, one of the most important things is to ship the book as soon as we receive the payment.
