Thread Name: BS: Best way to sell used books online?
Subject: RE: BS: Best way to sell used books online?
It's based on how many books you list and in the USA minimum monthly fee is $25 plus 8% of each sale. There is a max of, I think it is, $40 for their percentage of a sale. The more books you have on there, the higher the monthly fee. Also, if you don't have paypal or a way to accept credt cards, they will do it for you, for a fee. I think it is 5.5%.

The only rhyme or reason I can see to someone selling for a lot more there is they know a lot more about the worth of a book than the average person? Or, they THINK they do. Also, I think it works well for them in getting buyers who don't want to bother with auctions. I've bought several books from them, at slightly higher prices, because they were fairly rare and/or out-of-print or something else a friend or family member wanted and I wanted a really special, clean copy for them. I will pay extra if I think it is a better edition.

I haven't checked with bookfinder. Might do that just to see what they offer.

KimC, thanks for the info.

I have been getting my ducks in a row - pix taken, hosting site set for pix, etc.
