Book-selling tips:

1. Embrace the bundle feature.Selling books in a lot is an easy way to get rid of a bunch at a time, but you can also take advantage of bundle offers by listing multiples by the same author or genre, separately. Be sure to mention in your description that you have multiple books available and you’re open to bundle offers.

2. Describe the condition fairly. ‍Accurately list the condition of the item, especially if it’s well-loved. Be sure to mention if a book has dogeared pages, rips, markings or even a noticeable scent. Most shoppers don’t mind a little wear, and people appreciate when sellers are transparent.3. Use Media Mail. ‍The new Media Mail option for shipping can save your shoppers money and make them more prone to shop with you. If you’ve already got books listed, consider changing the shipping to Media Mail if they fit within the guidelines. Read more here.
