Things You'll Need

Instructions

1

Browse to the Amazon Seller website (see link in Resources).
2

Type the title or keyword of your book in the search form. For more accurate listing results, enter the ISBN, UPC or ASIN number of your book. You can usually find this number on the back of the book beneath the barcode or on the copyright page inside the book cover. Very old books do not have these numbers, so in that case, search by your book's exact title.
3

Click the "Start selling" button. Search for your exact book in the results that display. Click the item's detail page to inspect the publishing company, publishing year and print edition details to ensure your used book matches the item description. If it does, click "Sell on Amazon."
4

Submit the book's condition in the questionnaire. Amazon offers suggestions to help you determine the book's condition and other details. Be as accurate as possible because buyers of your books may leave feedback on your seller's account about how accurate your descriptions are.
5

Select your quantity and shipping method options, including whether you will offer expedited shipping on your book. Expedited shipping is a convenience to buyers who need your book in a hurry. Click "Continue."
6

Create an Amazon Seller account if you have not done so already. Amazon gives you the option to use your existing buyer account name and information or to create a completely new and separate seller account. Add your details and click "Continue."
7

Enter your payment options by which Amazon will pay you for your sales.
8

Review your listing in the preview page and submit the page to Amazon's inventory. When your book has sold, Amazon sends you an email with the shipping information.
