I was just wondering if anyone on here lists books at Alibris in addition to their Ebay sales. Half.com seems to be flooded with .75 books, but it seems you have to have a huge inventory to list your books with Alibris.

Anyone have experience with Alibriz?

Also, would anyone like to discuss packing for books.

I would like to hear what others do for packing and the approximate cost.

depends on what books you are selling,are you new to the trade?
some books are listed at one penny on amzn.
some search engines go across websites so alibris,amzn,half,barnes and noble will all show up.

Here is a great web site that will tell you all about packaging books.

Thanks, Colonel, I will check that out.

I am not new to selling books and just thought others might have some really neat innovative ways to save time packing - my least favorite part of selling anything.

Re: Alibris - I would like to perhaps list books there as I don't want a listing service that charges a monthly fee. I would like a commission only sight. If there is a better one, I would like to know. I have used Half.com, but it has really dipped in price.

What about listing on Half.com and Alibris at the same time? Would this cause a problem? I have heard some sellers say they list on more than one listing service.

nnt,

FYI-
I believe that there is a listing requirement of 1,000 book minimum with Alibris.
You certainly have many choices of places to list books today. I am very pleased with ABE and sell $20 & under books very well on Half.

Just my 2 choices
