My husband usually does the listing and transaction details, and I package and ship them. We've even had a friend give us a box of books because they didn't want to take the time to list them, and we split the earnings!*carrie*https://www.blogger.com/profile/10545859613596796648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14734790.post-69914961309761048252008-09-17T20:03:00.000-04:002008-09-17T20:03:00.000-04:00A friend of mine just recommended a site called bo...A friend of mine just recommended a site called bookmooch - it's a book exchange site where you get points for books you ship and can use the points towards books you want. Same idea but instead of getting money - you get more books (I swear I have like a 3 page list of books I want to read - so this is perfect for people like me).<BR/>Just thought I'd mention it!Serenity Nowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03815973447135157615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14734790.post-82552354325755336022008-09-17T18:41:00.000-04:002008-09-17T18:41:00.000-04:00Mary Ann,Thanks for the information.

Half.com reimburses you for shipping which is usually media mail(cheap). They automatically charge the customer for shipping when they checkout and then reimburse you for a pre-calculated amount when you get your paycheck. Details are on the site as well.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for visiting!Mary Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03129793790973176351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14734790.post-80713985633027680422008-09-17T10:08:00.000-04:002008-09-17T10:08:00.000-04:00Great idea...I have purchased through half.com, bu...Great idea...I have purchased through half.com, but never thought of selling myself.

I have been looking for a way to unload my books and you have given me that final push to do it. What materials do you use to mail out your books? How do you determine postage costs?
