How to make money selling low value books on eBay

[@Learnresellingwithme]

Have you ever sold books on eBay?

[@silverado708]

I sell books on eBay and love it. In today's market money matters. As long as you have a roof over your head electric is paid and have food on the table it's a step in the right direction

[@Learnresellingwithme]

@@silverado708 Well said! Thanks for comment.

[@sarahfelix4922]

I inherited about 40-60 boxes when my friend committed suicide a few years back....I figured I'd help her family by selling her books as she ran a book business and they didn't know what to do with them. Well, now I've sold a few, but need to get back in the umph....as I barely have 20 books posted...and I need at least 200...

I like this guy, he seems down to earth and not a guru, like everybody else. I find myself being able to relate with him. Maybe I’ll start my own KZbin channel

[@Learnresellingwithme]

Yes you should start your own channel, you never know what will happen.

You are 100% correct about Amazon fees. You can make more $$ from Ebay than Amazon for used items. You have to do more work, but it's worth it.

[@Learnresellingwithme]

Thank You

[@craigmyers9186]

You're right STAY AWAY FROM AMAZON too many rules and threats and fees Been there done that

Been thinking about getting back to selling on eBay, been out of the loop for years now. What I learned from you on this video was how to use the new eBay app to search for solds. Thank you for flattening my re-learning curve! :)

[@Learnresellingwithme]

You're welcome. I am really glad to hear that part of the video was useful. Thanks for the comment.

[@Ephesians5-14]

I love books! I order low cost used books on ebay all the time. I can't express the elation when I actually find an old book that's not available digitally on eBay! I use these books for research. I would love to start selling used books, but Amazon is the devil. Thank you for this video!

[@Learnresellingwithme]

Thank you for watching and commenting! There are a lot of great low cost used books on eBay. I didn't realize this until I started selling them myself. Lol. Yeah if you love books definitely go for it and you can sell on eBay not Amazon.

Thank you. I recently started to volunteer to sell discarded books for my local library. So many are worth so little. Will try to group a few together this week and see what happens.

[@rickyiglesias5384]

Sometimes I see people sell individual books on ebay for $3.50 with free shipping and it blows my mind. You're paying $2.89 for media mail. After fees and everything, you'd end up losing $.26. I'm so confused.

[@seapossumsforrest8162]

I keep seeing that also.

[@TempusFugit366]

I've always assumed they are buying postage in bulk so paying considerably less per unit to ship. Might be wrong though.

[@calj27]

@@TempusFugit366 what do you mean buying postage in bulk? I’m new to eBay and never sent a package in my life lol

[@TempusFugit366]

@@calj27 I see companies selling things at pretty much what I pay for postage so I imagine they buy 10,000 second class parcels per month/year at a discount of x%. Don't know the details but that's what I've always assumed.

[@zone4garlicfarm]

It costs me that much just to drive to the post office and back.

[@CrackInthe80sPodcast]

Haha great video, love the close up lmao it didn’t scare me, great tips

[@Learnresellingwithme]

Thank you!

[@yeshua131]

Can you please make a video on how to calculate shipping charges.

[@emilygardner8842]

Thanks. Real quick I just wanted to let you know, you dont have to go to the post office. I started selling stuff on Facebook and now have moved on to Ebay.. and shipping was always my issue. Use pirateship and you can print labels from your house and even schedule the post office to come pick them up from your house. That will save you alot of time!

[@Learnresellingwithme]

Thank you!

[@zone4garlicfarm]

I doubt that would work where I live. The post office doesn't deliver mail on my road. I would be shocked if they would come here to pick up packages.

[@lindak1768]

My post lady hates me. She was delivering 20 priority boxes to me last week and I have her on camera yelling at my house that this is Bull shit. She’s something. I just go to the post office. It’s not far.

[@zone4garlicfarm]

I should do this as I can source books for free or almost free. The bargain barn at the town dump always has a couple hundred books on the shelves and a local thrift store sells books for $1 for a bag full. Most garage sales have a lot of books, too. I haven't done it because I didn't know how to look up prices.

[@Learnresellingwithme]

Yes books are plentiful.

[@gmx5051]

Great job, wish you luck

[@Learnresellingwithme]

Great video, this is going to be my new business but I'm going to deal in rare and collectable books.

[@seapossumsforrest8162]

I feel better already. You got me, I subscribed. I kept waiting for a seagull photo bomb or one of those pelicans... Question. Is it better to get USPS boxes/envelopes Or to stockpile boxes from your shipments you have received. I have been collecting shipping boxes and packing material forEVER. Now I have officially reached hoarder level of stuff. Also, do you ever use 'Media' shipping option? It looks cheaper than just small envelope rate. thank you for posting!

[@Learnresellingwithme]

Thank you for subscribing! For books it is ok to send them in boxes that you already have. The paperback books I send in bubble mailers because it easier. I have a whole video on how to ship books. It's in the books playlist.

Makes sense thank you!

When you sell in "lot" how do you do the details part of the selling page. It makes me put an author and book title. Do I just choose one? Do you write all the titles?

Ok for the first step you have books and you sell them but how can you calclate the shipping fees locally or internatinallt, as we all know that shipping fees has the most high rates ? What we do to avoid loosing our money ?

[@Learnresellingwithme]

eBay has a shipping calculator that you can use.

Some sellers sell books at such low prices they do not make money. I see books selling for 3.50. yet the media mail costs 3.80. what gives?

[@lindak1768]

I have been selling stuff from around my house on eBay. I’ve gotten to the books and I don’t think they are worth listing. I look on eBay and people are selling them for $3.99 with free shipping. I think I’m better off giving them away. 😂 our town has one of those little free libraries were you put in a book in and take a book. I will scan them all and make sure they are not worth anything first.

[@joaquinben4458]

Hi is the Global Shipping Program safe? I just sold a book internationally. Thank You!!

[@Southjerseysmokin]

We’re you able to sell them?

[@Learnresellingwithme]

Yes

[@brucetouzel6484]

how do you estimate shipping costs ? doesnt buyer want to know ahead of time before deciding to buy ?

[@Learnresellingwithme]

You just weigh the book and packaging then enter that into the eBay listing. The buyer will then know the shipping cost before buying.
