Note: there can be several editions or formats of the same item--make sure you have the correct one. You can also sell your item from Amazon.com's home page by clicking Sell Your Stuff on the navigation bar or from the Manage Inventory section of your Seller Account.
		Describe the condition of your item. Select the condition and enter any comments regarding the condition item. For example, the book has a scratched cover or moderate highlighting.  Guidelines for setting the condition.
		Set your price and register to collect online payment from your buyer via Marketplace Payments by Amazon. You may list items at any price you feel is fair, regardless of the Amazon.com price or list price. However, be sure that you take our commissions and fees into consideration along with the cost of shipping. Amazon.com provides a fixed shipping credit; however it may not cover your actual shipping cost.  Read more about commissions and fees. Read more about shipping credits.

If you choose to do ship yourself, decide whether you want to offer expedited or international shipping. When you offer a certain shipping option, you can mail your order using any carrier and method, as long as the buyer receives their package within the time frame they chose. If you choose to have Amazon ship orders for you, your listings will be eligible for FREE Super Saver Shipping, Prime, customer service, and returns. Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) fees will apply.

Selling Multiple Copies

All sellers have the option to list in quantity. We ask that sellers practice the following listing guidelines:

If you have multiple identical copies of the same item, please use the quantity field rather than creating unique multiple listings.

If you have multiple copies of the same item, in different conditions or editions, you will need to create a single listing for each item.

If you have abundant stock of a particular product, which might lead to many identical listings on the Offer Listing page*, please limit the number you create to no more than 5 identical listings in a category.

(* See an example of the Offer Listing page.)

SKU

This is a optional field but if you have many items to list, you may wish to consider assigning a SKU to each to help you to locate the item when it is sold.  The SKU can be numbers, letters or a combination of both.  We encourage sellers not to base their inventory management system on the listing ID our system assigns to the listing.  There are a number of reasons that this number might  be lost  which could make it very difficult to locate a particular item in your inventory.
