Financing Your Beauty Addiction

This beauty addiction sometimes gets a little costly. I happen to be a big reader, and my house is littered with old books. I just discovered how to sell the books on Amazon.com. It’s AMAZING how easy it is.

Here’s how to do it:

Step 1: Go to the Amazon page for the book you want to sell. Underneath the “Add to Shopping Cart” button, you’ll see the “Sell yours here” button. Click it.

Step 2: Select the condition: from Used-Acceptable to New. Check the book—make sure if there’s writing or highlighting on the pages.

Step 3: Write a short description: 1000 characters or less, such as “Some spine wear, no writing on the pages, good reading copy.”

Step 4: Choose the price. Note: go to the used books page for the book. Check and see the other prices of the books. Set the lowest price available (if this is feasible and affordable) or else set your own market value for the book. Another note: Amazon requires that you set the price at least 10% below the Amazon price.

Step 5: Set Shipping type (normally Standard Shipping).

Step 6: Amazon notifies you by email when the book sells. You must ship within two days of the book being sold. Package the book securely and write “Your Amazon Marketplace Purchase” on the envelope. Include a return address. Include the Amazon order slip. You can email the buyer, but this is not required.
