Thread Name: Bookbuyers/sellers - eBay or Amazon?
Subject: Bookbuyers/sellers - eBay or Amazon?
My favourite used book site, Bibliofind.com has been bought out by Amazon.com. I always wanted to list as a seller with them, but never had a large enough inventory. In following their links to Amazon, I see that one can list books and collectibles on Amazon with no minimum number. Your items are listed for 30 days and if they don't sell you are not charged. There are some other particulars about pricing, etc.

I've sold stuff on eBay before and been pretty happy with them. Now, though, I have a few BOXES of books I'd like to sell and am not sure whether to use Amazon or eBay.

Have any of you sold on Amazon? Do you buy used books from there? Do you prefer it over eBay or vice versa?

I'd really like to hear from any of you who may have experienced selling on Amazon. It looks like an easier and faster way to list books, esp. when you have so many. On the other hand, tried and true has its attractions.

Thanks for any imput.
