Pangobooks is so great! I run a shop with my high school students and we’ve made $2,700 and sold 1,261 books in the past 11 months! It’s been such a great learning experience for my students and has been so fun!

So glad your Pango experience is positive. One of my Pango purchases came wrapped in a piece of Christmas wrapping paper! It protected the book (and probably the seller is like me and has a number of extra rolls since the family moved to gift bags). I hope your Pango selling continues to be easy and fun!

I have been using Pango for a few months now too and it's SOOO much simpler than trying to take books to the store for credit. It was really informative to see how you pack a shipment. Thanks for sharing, Bethany!

I don't like the store credit model that many used book stores use. They should be willing to pay cash for nice books. Let's hear it for Pango...

My only complaint is there is no option to sell via your desktop vs a phone app. I have an older phone, don't like the modern trend of having to use an app for everything. It sounds a lot like Mercari for books otherwise.

If you aren’t doing enough volume to justify purchasing a thermal label printer yet, you can order adhesive sheets for laser or ink jet printers so you don’t have to tape them on your packages.

I tried out Pango books after your last video and I've had a great experience buying from people on there. I haven't put any of my books I need to unhaul on the shop yet, but buying has been great. Thank you for going through and answering questions/showing how you package and sell books on there!

Pango is so easy! I find it really helpful even if I don't have more to list to drop the price by like .50 for older listed books because it puts you up in the feed and gets visiters. I love to buy graphic novels and manga there too (sometimes with the profit lol)

Ive tried listing some on poshmark but people arent really interested in books there as it's more geared towards clothes.

I just started selling books on Pango this month and it’s going very well! Already made $100 and I’m really shocked because wasn’t expecting that. But I did sell some out of print indie books so that’s why I made so much. I’m selling my entire addicted Calloway series for example and I sold of one the bridge kingdom indie hardcovers.

You really cannot send correspondence through media mail. Book marks and stickers are okay. Magazines or items with advertisements cannot be sent media mail. USPS will, on occasion, check a package. (A thank you note is correspondence.)

I just do not get it. I have a book that is selling for 12 dollars on eBay, 4.50 on Bookscouter and when I go to Pangobooks I see ten people selling it for 1.00 meaning 40 cents commission, get a box, packing, and drive to the post office with gas at 4.50 per gallon. Honestly, the only way U can make money is sell a number of books as a bundle. Sometimes you luck out as the low price might be 5 dollars so you can only pay a 20 percent commission.

Me watching this while I pack an order: 🫢 I've been surprised because packing has actually become my favorite part. I hoard most of my book mail material, so it hasn't been terrible. It's such a relief to unhaul, and Pango makes it pretty straightforward.
