How to Sell Something on Amazon.Com

Holding a yard sale is not the only way that you can sell items you no longer need. You can also use an online resource, such as Amazon, to sell your things. Amazon originally only sold books, but it now offers a wide range of products to its customers. As an individual seller you can put your item up for sale in the online marketplace. You need a free Amazon seller account to sell items on Amazon's website. This account is different from a regular user account.

Instructions

1

Launch a Web browser, then go to the "Amazon Sell Your Stuff" Web page.

Click the "Select Product Category" drop-down box, then select the category that your item belongs to. For example, if you are selling a DVD, select "DVD" from the list.

Enter the name of the item in the "Search by Title or Keyword(s)" box, then click "Start Selling." Alternatively, if you have the ISBN, ASIN or UPC number of the item, enter it in the "Search by ISBN, UPC, or ASIN" box and click "Start Selling."

Click the "Sell Yours Here" button to the right of your item from the results list, then select the condition of your item from the "Condition" drop-down box. For example, if the item is brand new, select "New" from the list.
