I buy from them all the time, and haven't gotten a notice yet! What gives, I wonder?
I wonder, must be because I have a seller account.
Oh! Have bought from them in the past, though not recently. Don't think I got that notice.
I've never heard about this. What is Half.com?
Everyday people and businesses sell books. Back when it started I believe the books were always half MRP but now people can sell them for whatever they want. Shipping rate is set based on hard cover or soft cover. check it out: http://www.half.ebay.com/ At some point they became part of ebay.
I think I will now just move my books to ebay listings. The problem is figuring out the shipping price. I feel like I have to get them ready for shipping with proper protection, then weight them and take package measurements before posting them on ebay though. That way the buyer pays the exact shipping cost & the shipping label comes out right. Ebay makes shipping from home very easy but you do have to have all that info to print a proper shipping label. I have things that haven't sold for over a year. I don't want to waste time packaging things that might not sell. Idk what I'll do. Probably just donate the cheaper ones.
