17:24 The treasure hunting book what is that specifically about sounds interesting either way I mean if it’s about hunting actual treasure I doubt it but anyway sounds interesting.
Thank You for the fantastic simplly explained video, Anyways i tried registering my self for FBM program but the website shows me only FBA! Any advice?
If I may suggest something regarding packing for those on a serious slim budget...what I would use instead of paying for bubble wrap, even from the dollar tree 🌳..I would grab a modest amounts of brown paper grocery bags when shopping..just enough where they don't say anything..do that everywhere I went grocery shopping.. they work like packing paper you find in your shipments from anything you order. Some people use bald up plastic bags to pack the books from moving around or newspapers..personally I don't recommend newspapers due to the ink possibly rubbing off on some of the books covers..but Regarding this, my point is, it doesn't have to be special if you are sending it into FBA, because once the warehouse receives your Package in the Fullfillment Center, they are going to toss what you had, and replace it with their shipping materials. you need to streamline in every way you can...hopefully that helps someone.
Hi Eric, I notice that you are using Scoutly instead of ScoutIQ. Was was the main reason you went with that app? What are your current triggers for books, CDs and DVD's? I am a newbie but I am not finding much on my ScoutIQ triggers
The main reason for me was the monthly price of Scoutly. I’ve been using it for many years and it has always served me well. As for the triggers I use, I’ll try and put together a video explaining how I go about setting up the triggers. Quest on~E
Glad I found your channel. It's been really helpful for us! I have a quick question if I may: how do you classify what goes to FBA and what goes to MFN?
I’m so glad to hear it’s been helpful, thank you! I base my decision to send to FBA or FBM by the Amazon ranking and sale’s history of a particular book. I could put together a video explaining this in more detail . Have a great weekend~E
Hey guys. I just lucked into about 8,000 books. I am new to Amazon FBA and I am trying to see what’s what. I will be selling these myself and am only interested in learning to sell these. A small middle school closed and I inherited all the books from the library and about 1000 text books. While researching I see great used values, but some of the books have a ranking of 1-3 million. Should I list the high ranking ones first?
Great video. This is kind of where I’m at with Amazon/EBay. If you list something FBM from your home inventory, can you have it listed on eBay at the same time as well?
Thank you Kirt. Yes, I have items myself listed on multiple platforms. Once the item sells just remove the item from the other platform ASAP. Hope this helps and thanks for the question Kirt, have a great week~E
When signing up for your seller central account did you sign up as an individual or a privately owned business? Are you able to change it later down the road?
The Scoutly app calculates the shipping, cost of goods, fees and gives a complete breakdown of what the profit will be based on the price I choose to sell for.
Thanks for the great information. My only concern is this- If you are mailing the books yourself to customers, do you still get customers since you cannot offer Amazon 2 day shipping? And do you suggest adding the shipping cost in your price?
Thank you Gina. Yes, most of the books that I sell through MF ( merchant fulfilled) are usually over a million ranking, are more obscure and rare out of print books with a high profit. Usually there are only a few copies if any ( of the titles I’m selling) available on Amazon. So Yes, I do get customers buying from MF because there aren’t many available. The shipping cost is usually only $4-5, so if you’re paying $1 or 2 for a book and selling it for $100+ then I wouldn’t even consider incorporating it into the price. This is just the way I do it, not everyone will agree with it but, it has done well for me😊 Hope this helps Gina Have a great week ~Eric
Hello, as an Amazon seller you would receive a standardized shipping credit of $3.99 for books. The average shipping cost by media mail is roughly around $3.79 for a normal sized book. Keep in mind though if you have a larger heavier book it will cost more to ship. Then you would work the extra cost into your total price. Hope this helps, thanks for watching~E
Usually no higher than a 700,000 ranking. Also, it depends how many copies are available and what other sellers are selling that particular book or item for.
Thank you for making videos!! One question what category are the best to look for when there’s a ton of books to choose from and not enough time to go through the whole store ?
Hello. I have a fulltime job and was just looking for a side hustle. Would selling used books on Amazon be worth it? I'm only looking to make maybe $200 a month.
I just started listing books on FBM and found your channel. Would you also recommend the Scout IQ app or do you just prefer Scoutly and are there differences between the two? Thx
I’ve never used the Scout IQ app so I couldn’t give a comparison. I definitely prefer Scoutly. It gets the job done and suits my needs just fine. The monthly cost is much more reasonable than Scout IQ. Have a great holiday ~ E
You are a great mentor about used book selling! Greetings from Berkeley, CA.
Im really thankful about your channel. I never see any man like you to explain him journey so clean. I love you bud

I like that scoutly format better than I do the ScoutIQ. I might have to switch.
Sounds like a fun gig!
Wow what a find on the autographed Buzz book. How amazing!!

Awesome video man, what kinda hours do you work for what kinda revenue in books particularly?
I'm not sure if you covered in this video, but after you scan all those books, whats the next step?
Great video. This is kind of where I’m at with Amazon/EBay.

How do I get past the WALL of “REQUEST APROVAL”? I’m selling used books I don’t have invoices to scan in .
When signing up for your seller central account did you sign up as an individual or a privately owned business? Are you able to change it later down the road?
Hi Emily, I signed up as an individual when I first started and yes you can upgrade later if you wish. Thanks for watching 😊
How do you calculate the shipping to incorporate it into your price?
The Scoutly app calculates the shipping, cost of goods, fees and gives a complete breakdown of what the profit will be based on the price I choose to sell for.
@@quest4gold806 Even for the free version?
@@mustbescud There is a free trial to evaluate Scoutly. After the evaluation it would be $10 for the lite plan and $35 for the pro version monthly.
Thanks for the great information. My only concern is this- If you are mailing the books yourself to customers, do you still get customers since you cannot offer Amazon 2 day shipping? And do you suggest adding the shipping cost in your price?

@@quest4gold806 Thank you so much!
Do you need to create a new ISBN to resell used books on Amazon?
@@Go4DonDON No, you do not. Thanks for watching
When you scan on scout app does it include Amazon fees? How do you calculate amazon fees
Yes, the app gives a breakdown on Amazon FBA & FBM fees
How did you get ungated to sell games and dvd’s also?
WARHAMMER was hot a few years back.
Do you charge shipping separately? Or do you add it on to your price?
Hello, as an Amazon seller you would receive a standardized shipping credit of $3.99 for books. The average shipping cost by media mail is roughly around $3.79 for a normal sized book. Keep in mind though if you have a larger heavier book it will cost more to ship. Then you would work the extra cost into your total price. Hope this helps, thanks for watching~E
How much does books usually ship for? Rough average
Roughly, $4-5 to ship by media mail. Hope this helps~E
Ive been trying to sell used books on Amazon but keeps getting denied. System wouldn’t let me sell used books. Have they stopped new sellers?
What is your highest sales rank you usually send to FBA?
Usually no higher than a 700,000 ranking. Also, it depends how many copies are available and what other sellers are selling that particular book or item for.
Can you buy them tax exempt with a resale tax certificate? Otherwise you and the customer are paying sales tax
So no you have to have a utility bill to start account right to verify identity
No, just a bank account to get started.
Thank you for making videos!!
One question what category are the best to look for when there’s a ton of books to choose from and not enough time to go through the whole store ?
Definitely focus on the Non-fiction books. Thank you for watching!
Why sell certain items on eBay? As opposed to Amazon. I acknowledge you can have auctions on eBay...
Amazon should add an auction market or a sister site. It would be interesting. I've even sold used Cologne on eBay
Sometimes the profits are better on eBay vs Amazon and vice versa

Hello. I have a fulltime job and was just looking for a side hustle. Would selling used books on Amazon be worth it? I'm only looking to make maybe $200 a month.
100% yes. You can very easily make that per month. If you dedicate 1 full day per week, you can make $600 per month.
You don’t explain “restricted items”…..
