Question for all college students?

I was wondering...

Has anyone sold their old textbooks to Amazon before?

I sold a lot of my textbooks through Amazon. That's actually how I got started on Amazon...now I'm an Amazon Prime Junkie

I sold mine, and now I sell my husband's on half.ebay.com. I've had really good success selling there so I've never tried anywhere else.

I sold all mine through Amazon. It's easy!

I've used half.com and ebay. Check around to see where the best prices are and make sure you describe them well.

Okay! I've checked around and Amazon is currently buying back 3 of the ones I have.

I had a question and contacted customer support but they person I got said she didn't work in that department and couldn't answer my question.

Does anyone know what they do with the books they decided not to buy? Like after you ship them to them. Do they return them to me or keep them?

Also, how much does it cost to sell your textbooks on half.com?

I also use half.com. They take a percentage of the sale price for commission

I'm a bit sketchy about it. I've never sold anything on ebay, amazon, etc. I don't really know what I'm doing :/

With 2 jobs and classes full times, I never found the time to go back to the bookstore. Ugh.

I've never had any problems selling on half.ebay.com or ebay. However I do believe that to sell on half you need it linked to your bank account, as that's how they deposit your money. I'm not sure how it is for Amazon. But for half they deposit the money once a month, so anything you sold that month gets deposited once after they take their sales commission out.
