Half.com

I've always sold books back on eBay, but recently ran into quite a few that I couldn't seem to sell back. What are the fees like on Half.com? Can people still pay you with PayPal? I have a lot of books I'd like to sell.

I think its a wonderful Idea. I would rather by a used book then a new one to save money if I can. If your done with it, why not try and sell or give it back. You are hellping someone else out and also retaining the money you used to get it. It would be cool if more students dii this...

Thanks for the information but do they only sell books or lots of other stuff?

I have used half.com before to sell some of my books and they definitely let you make more $ than selling at the bookstore! I have also bought books there and had good experiencea with that too.

don't discuss these stupid things

Thanks so much for sharing this detail. Will check out the site. One more thing is the site only for US citizens or people from other countries can also do the buying and selling. I am from India

Yes, I do the same thing, as I'm currently a student and sell back most of my books on Half.com, you can also sell them Amazon too, so if you find sales sluggish, try them as well.

I really like half.com too. I've sold books, CDs, and videos with them. It's nice that they reimburse you for shipping and don't charge you a fee if it doesn't sell. It's easy to use you can list items indefinitely.

Yes it is free to list at half.com. They simply take a percentage of the selling price which can be as high as 15% depending on the selling price. You are paid by direct deposit twice a month. You have to fork over the money for shipping and they reimburse you. They have a set amount for shippind depending on what type of item was sold. the buyer pays Half.com. What you get is the selling price minus their commission plus shipping reimbursement. As far as I know by what is listed in the help section of the website, they are not curretnly accepting paypal for either receiving payments or paying the sellers. It is all done by credit card for buying and direct deposit for paying sellers. If you can wait and only get paid twice a month then it is a really great deal. You set the pice you want to sell the book for. I have noticed that books tend to sell better on half.com than on ebay. textbooks are the best sellers. You can list an item that does not have an isbn, you just need to include your own pictures and desription if you want. They only accept Region 1 dvd's to be listed. Check out the help section of the site as it has all the info you need to buy or sell on there.

Textbooks really sell well on Half.com. I have also sold a few other books but not many. I think you can make a good monthly income from there but only if you have a lot of different books listed. I have some books listed that have been there for months. I guess it just depends on what is popular at the moment. I think most people who shop there use the search and know what they are looking for but there isn't much browsing. But since I can list the books for free I list them and forget about them until they sell.

I have never listed anything on half.com but I have purchased here once. It was great- A friend e-mailed me a code for $5 off a $10 purchase as a new customer. I got a dvd for my daughter for Christmas.. I must admit that I only look for new items when I shop here at half.com. The shipping rates are high I think.... Compared to e-bay where sometimes you get it for free when you Buy it now. I haven't boughten anything here in a bit- thanks for the reminder I'll go back and check it out!

well i dont shop online.. I usually buy what ever i need from any shop..

I use half.com and think it is wonderful. They keep you from sitting and letting your inventory fall stagnant by reminding you to change things or they will delete your inventory. The fees they take out when the item sells is reasonable and they always add on a fair amount for shipping.

I sold a bunch of my old pc games on Half.com before :D.

thanx for suggesting such a useful website, for selling books, i generally use the used book store, but not all my books are sold, and so i would try submitting in half.com, let see how it works/.

I love half.com although I haven't listed anything there in awhile. Maybe I should make that my project soon.

Thanks for mentioning half.com because I did not know that there is a site where I can sell my used text book which I really want to do. It is good to hear your positive experience with that site. I will try selling my books there too. Thanks a lot.

cool..i'll take a look on it..

thats a very useful website you posted ther. thanks.

i like half . com sometimes i use it, but most of the time i use straight upo ebay. when i need somethign really bad, i often use ebay to find it source it up and buy. what i hate htough is the paypal and ebay being linked that sucks 100% for me. paypalalways freezes everyones accoutns for no reason, anyone else?? i hate paypals policies btut ebays rules i buy soooooooooooo much off ebay, for bikes to candies!! oh yeah i love IT!!
