Hi,
I have got second-hand books taking up space at home that I really want to get rid of! Is it easier/cheaper to sell them through Amazon or Ebay? I had a read through each site's information pages about fees but there was too much info for my brain right now
Is it correct to say that you will pay a price to list an item on either site you go on, and then once it sells they take some more money from you? Also, the prices to sell at Ebay auction and Buy It Now are different?
The books I have are only going to be worth about £2.00 to £10.00. I'm not looking to make much on them, only a couple of pounds or break even to free up floorspace lol. I just don't want to be left out of pocket by not accounting for selling charges and p+p...
Thanks x

I have sold some of my University books on Amazon recently and they have taken up to £5 from me if something has sold for say £20. And you can only charge £2.75 so when a book costs £5 to post you miss out, whereas with Ebay you can state how much postage will be.
I looked and I can't find a half with a UK address but I havn't looked to see what they have on the .com for the UK. I'd imagine there is some... ?
