of all those used college textbooks? You can become an individual seller via Amazon.com's
Marketplace, or exchange books for cash through their Buyback program. You will need Amazon

label and packing slip. Step 1. Open an Amazon account if you don't already have one. Sign
up for an individual seller account if you decide to sell through Amazon.com Marketplace.
Step 2. Search for your book by title or ISBN number at the Marketplace's "Sell Your Stuff"
page. Click on "Sell Yours Here." You can sell no more than 40 books through an Amazon.com
Marketplace individual seller account. Step 3. Select your book's condition and set the
price when selling via the Marketplace. Set the shipping method at least for standard
shipping. For new textbook sellers, Amazon offers free tutorial "webinars" that include
pricing books and managing multiple orders. Step 4. Consider selling back your book to
a third party vendor via the Textbook Buyback program. To participate, your book has to
be in "good" condition. Compared to a Marketplace sale, you'll only get a small percentage of
your book's original price through the Buyback program. Step 5. Search for your book's trade-in
value by title or ISBN at the Textbook Buyback page. Your book must match the exact version
determined by the ISBN. Step 6. Assess your book's condition. A "good" condition involves
no damage to the cover, pages, binding, or associated media like CDs or DVDs. Step 7.

payment comes in the form of an Amazon gift card. Step 8. Ship your book directly to the
buyer if your book sells through Amazon's Marketplace program. All sellers are required
to offer at least standard shipping. Once you've made some sales, you'll be glad to
have some extra space on your bookshelves -- and a little cash in your pocket. Did you
know Amazon founder Jeff Bezos originally named the company "Cadabra" like "Abracadabra,"
but reconsidered because it sounded too much like "Cadaver."
