How to Sell Books on Amazon

Whether you're a professional bookseller or a seller of a few used books, you can sell books online through a variety of Amazon.com seller programs.

TIP: If you're listing multiple copies in the same transaction, all book copies must be in the same physical condition.
Step 1: Set your book's price regardless of the listed Amazon.com price. To collect online buyer payments, register for Marketplace Payment by Amazon.
Step 2: Decide if you want to ship items yourself or use Amazon's fulfillment service, which includes per-order handling and inventory storage for multiple items.
FACT: On Christmas Day, 2009, Amazon's e-book sales overtook their print book sales for the first time ever.
Step 3: Choose your book's condition from the Marketplace drop-down menu. Conditions include "new," "like new," "very good," "good," and "acceptable."
Step 4: List an individual book in Amazon's Marketplace. Your book copy must exactly match the format or edition of the book shown on its Amazon page.
TIP: Set up your account and include your business name and address, your contact and payment information, and your returns and refund policy.
Step 5: Know about per-item fees. Each sold item requires a referral fee, or a percentage of the product price. There's also a fixed closing fee per item.
Step 6: Search Amazon for the title of a specific book that you're selling. On the right side of the title's Amazon page, click the "Sell Yours Here" button.
Step 7: Sign up for a seller account at Amazon's website. Enroll as a professional seller for a monthly fee, or sell individual books at a per-item fee.
