In this article, I will be presenting you my advice on how you can sell textbooks on Amazon without risking a suspension.
Let’s pretend you did a market research, found the textbooks that are selling the most, and now you’re ready to list them on your Amazon seller account. But wait, don’t hurry! Before listing anything, you should take some decisive steps which will guarantee a suspension-less selling career.
Most of the sellers buy used (but in good condition) books to sell on Amazon, which is why many of them contain marks, stains, notes and highlighted parts. Even though sometimes it is acceptable to sell them even with their “imperfections,” you still have to comply with Amazon’s policies and condition guidelines regardless.
Before listing the actual product on Amazon, make sure you clean your textbook and remove all the marks and stains, if there are any. Wrinkled, folded, and creased pages should be pressed and flattened. You can use a lightly-warm iron to get this done. If the textbook should supposedly have any additional material, for example a CD, make sure you include it before creating your listings. Or at least mention in your listings that it doesn’t come with the CD, so the buyer is aware of what they are purchasing.
There are some additional points you should know about before dealing with textbooks. Since they are used for education purposes, mostly for students who are studying a certain subject, your textbook should never include answers, highlighted parts and other marks. If you found them on your textbook, don’t try to sell it on Amazon.
Amazon won’t allow you to sell textbooks that include severe and worrying wear and tears. Observe your textbooks as though you’re going to study and pass an exam – if you find missing pages, or it includes serious scratches that can confuse your customer, don’t even try to sell these textbooks.
Here are some extra tips:
- Make sure you have high-quality product images for your listings.
- Product Images should also include the damaged, scratched or smashed parts of your textbooks. If your customer finds them perfect despite their imperfections, they won’t regret it after receiving the textbook.
- Usually, the price of the textbook is written on its last or first pages with a pencil, so make sure you erase it on time. It’s obvious that you’re going to list your textbooks at a higher price than you obtained them, but don’t reveal that secret to your customers; they will become angry and leave a negative feedback.
