\/><\/center><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>method 1: amazon seller<\/h2>\n<p>amazon seller is definitely the best way to get the most money back. the con is that you will have to wait for all the books to sell. however, i think getting maximum return is worth it. i\u2019m guessing we all paid a lot of money to buy those darn textbooks.<\/p>\n<p>setting up an account with amazon seller is free and easy. you will just need some basic info and a bank account for amazon to transfer the money you earned. amazon does take a small percentage of your profit but don\u2019t worry, they let you keep most of the money.<\/p>\n<p>i think the most confusing part was figuring out how to ship your sold textbooks. here is the best\/cheapest method i found.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>go buy packaging for the textbooks at an office supply store. this way you will save money. buying the packaging at the post office is over-priced. btw, the best packaging is the envelop that is textbook size and has bubble wrap lining.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>print out the packing slip. the user interface of amazon seller is pretty straightforward. if you click \u201cunshipped,\u201d you can check your pending orders and you will be able to \u201cprint packing slip.\u201d from the packing slip you can get the address of the textbook\u2019s destination. i would then put the actual slip in the packaging with the book. it will serve as the receipt for your customer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>go to your nearest us postal service center. the usps has a service called \u201cmedia mail.\u201d this provides discounted shipping for school materials like textbooks! be sure not to seal the packaging until you get to the usps. the postal worker may want to verify that you are indeed shipping an educational item.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>once you have shipped the textbook from the post office be sure that you have a \u201ctracking number\u201d for your package. the postal worker will let you know what it is. with the tracking number, go home and open your amazon seller account. go back to the \u201cunshipped\u201d link and \u201cconfirm shipment.\u201d amazon will ask you for the method of delivery you have chosen which is \u201cmedia mail\u201d and for the tracking number of your package.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>there you have it! a 101 guide to using amazon seller. i have personally sold off all of my high school textbooks using this method.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>method 2: textbook buy backs<\/h2>\n<p>this method is quick but you won\u2019t get that much money back. this is for if you just want those textbooks out of your sight as soon as possible. buy back websites allow you to enter the isbn number of your textbook to tell you how much they will pay you. there are also nice buy back sites that will pay for shipping. here are some examples to browse:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.textbookrush.com\/sell\/textbooks\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.textbookrush.com\/sell\/textbooks\/<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cash4books.net\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.cash4books.net\/<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>this is a link to a website that will compare multiple buy back websites for you:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bookfinder.com\/buyback\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.bookfinder.com\/buyback\/<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>i hope this post was helpful. happy selling and make some money!<\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\"
