Instructions

Step 1

ESTABLISH AN EBAY SELLERS ACCOUNT - Go to eBay.com and establish a selling account. Make sure you read and understand all of their terms and conditions before you get started because you do not want any surprises.
Step 2

PURCHASE CHEAP BOOKS - You can purchase cheap books from a variety of sources including directly from the publishers. Contact publishers directly to see if you would like to purchase books directly. You can also look into places such as the one dollar type of chain stores. Many times they will have top name books for only one dollar. You can also buy used and antique books at garage sales, thrift stores or estate sales.
Step 3

CREATE LISTINGS - Create your listings with an appropriate photo and all of the details of the book including the ISBN number. Make sure that you adequately describe the book, shipping, payment and return policy.
Step 4

ACCEPT PAYMENT - You can accept checks, money orders, paypal or credit card. When your volume increases you may want to start your own merchant account so that you can process your own credit cards.
Step 5

PACK AND SHIP - Books can be shipped via media mail which makes it much more affordable. Establish an account with an online postage company such as stamps.com, ups.com or Federal Express. Ship immediately upon cleared payment.
