Has anyone got any advice on the best sites to sell books? I have lots and some once read only. There are a lot of sites but how do you narrow it down to the best ones who give you a good deal? Maybe its best to sell them myself on e.bay? what do you think? Also is it best to sell things through paypal? I have not had any experience with a lot of selling although I would think e.bay etc would have to be trustworthy as payment is going through them only really? I want to make some money and want to know the best way to sell items. Thanks.

Yes, you can use eBay and have payment through paypal. Just remember that if they purchase with a credit card the money can be revoked and your on the hook for it even months after that sale. Also you may want to look up current "book rates" for shipping as books can be quite heavy. It takes a little longer but the rate is much cheaper. Also do you have any stores near you that sell used books? Another option is also a local fleamarket if available. Set up a table and let the money roll in.

Be an indie seller on Amazon -- no risk since Amazon is your middleman with the buyer.

Cookbooks are especially prized and could be worth something.

Thank you I have been investigating. Seen another site Greenmetropolis who are quite good and have interesting discussions if you like reading and books.
