Describe the condition of your item using preset categories such as "Used-Like New" or "Collectible-Acceptable." Add a comment about the item up to 1,000 characters. Enter the price for which you wish to sell the item and how many of the item you have. Type your ZIP code so buyers can see from where their packages are shipping. Note if you are willing to ship internationally or via expedited service.

Review the listing information for accuracy. The preconfirmation page lists how much money you should make if the item sells and what Amazon's commission is. Press "Submit your listing."

Wait for an email from Amazon that indicates someone has bought your item. (If your item does not sell in 30 days, Amazon delists it and does not charge you a fee.) Mail the item to the buyer. Amazon sends direct deposits to your checking account twice a month, or you can manually choose to have a deposit made sooner.
