Here's a UG threat about selling used books on Amazon. If you're motivated enough to read the thread, you can probably glean some info. Or you could try contacting the OP.

I've been selling books on Amazon for over a year now; it's a side income and pretty easy.

do they do the fulfillment for you? What's their percentage if they do?

I have only sold small stuff, self fulfillment. I found their shipping notifications and other messaging very annoying.

I do self fulfillment and it is pretty straightforward. Amazon gets 15% (which in my opinion is a little high), but since everything I sell is thrift-store books bought for pennies, I cannot complain.

The only other downside to selling on Amazon, is that you have to abide by Amazon's return policy. People can buy a used book from me and request a return/refund for 30 days. So... 29 days after I sell a book, I occasionally get someone who wants a return/refund for a book that they read and now no longer want.

Other than that happening once in a while, it's easy money. Amazon emails you shipping labels when items sell, you package it, and send it on its merry way.

that might not be a bad way to do it, I can make my daughter handle it all and give her something to do on the side
