I always use this as the option when I list books. Media mail is far and away the cheapest way to ship books. Make sure to take photos of any imperfections so that your buyer knows what they’re getting. And so I figure that my buyers are the same. When I’m a buyer, I like to see an actual photo of what I’m buying, not just a stock photo.

You can use an eBay stock photo of the book, but I always add my own photos as well. That way the buyer knows exactly what they’re getting and you won’t get a complaint when the buyer receives their purchase. It’s always best to err on the side of lots of disclosure about the condition of your book. In the description, add any relevant info about the condition of the book (the back cover is torn, page 42 has markings, etc.) Make sure the condition (new, like new, good, etc.) is right for your book. Edit the listing to make sure it’s accurate. A lot of the information like author, genre, etc. This takes you to a page with a pre-filled listing, which makes your life way easier. (On mobile, click on “Filter” on the right hand top side and scroll down to toggle on “completed listings”.) 3. So, I like to make sure it’s worth my while. If a book is only going for, say, $0.99, I just don’t think it’s worth the time to make a listing. In the sidebar options on desktop, click “completed listings” so you can see if your book is Do a search on eBay for the book you’re wanting to sell. It’s not very hard, though if you have basic internet savvy, you will be fine.

This page has very detailed step by step directions for setting up an account. If you don’t already have an account, you’ll need to make one.

This is not essential, but it makes adding photos to your listing so, so much easier. I am totally not an eBay expert (lots of people on the internet know more about eBay than I do!), but I’m happy to share what I do. So, I thought it would be good to have a post that I can send people to when they ask that question in the future.
