| How to Sell Textbooks on Amazon Posted: 29 Apr 2020 01:00 AM PDT This wikiHow teaches you how to sell and trade-in a textbook on Amazon. You can either trade-in the textbook to Amazon for their offered amount of gift credits or list the book at your own price. However, if you decide to list the book instead of trading-in, you might get more money. [Edit]Trading-In Your Textbook - Research the trade-in price you can expect. Click ☰ > Books & Audible > Sell Us Your Books. Then enter the ISBN, title, or author of your textbook to find a listing.
- If you can't find a listing, your textbook is probably not accepted for trade-in by Amazon. You'll need to create your own listing and sell your book as an independent seller.
- Remember, you can only trade-in a textbook to Amazon if it's in good condition. That means there are no marks or writing in the book (no highlighting), it's blemish-free (no significant damage to binding, cover, and pages), and it comes with all its companion items (if the book mentions a companion CD, that CD needs to be with it for Amazon to accept the trade-in).[1]
- Prepare the textbook for trade-in. Make sure all the companion materials are with your book; gently clean the covers of the book to remove any debris like dirt or scuff marks.
- Click . You'll see this when you search for your item at https://www.amazon.com/Amazon-Trade-In/.
- Click to select or to answer all the questions. This will rule out if your book is in the condition required to trade-in with Amazon. If you answer "Yes" to questions 2-4 or "No" to question 1, you aren't able to trade-in your book and must list it as an independent seller.
- Click the box next to "I have verified that the ISBN is correct." After you answer the above questions about the condition of your book, you'll see the ISBN of the listed book appear. Check that it matches the textbook you want to trade-in and click the box to fill it.
- You can usually find the ISBN on the back cover of your book above the black and white bar code that is scanned at the store.
- You will also see the current trade-in value listed in green here.
- Click and log in. You'll see the "Continue" button at the bottom of the screen once you've checked the ISBN box.
- Click under the appropriate return shipping address. If you have multiple addresses on file, you'll see them all listed here. Select the address that Amazon can use for your shipping label and if your trade-in is not acceptable.
- Confirm your trade-in. Check your return address, shipping method (usually drop-off at a UPS location), the textbook you are trading-in, and how much you are getting.
- If you want to add another item to your trade-in, you can search the ISBN, title, or author of the book in the search bar under your current trade-in labeled "Search for more items to trade-in." You can only trade-in items up to $1,800 in one order.[2]
- Click . You'll be redirected to a confirmation page that your shipping labels are on the way and your trade-in credit will apply once Amazon receives and accepts the textbook(s).
- You can view the status of your trade-in, like whether it's still shipping or accepted at the warehouse, from your trade-in account.
[Edit]Listing Your Textbook - Research how much your book sells for. Click ☰ > Books & Audible > Textbooks, then enter the ISBN, title, or author of your book to see the current listings.
- You'll want to check out the current prices, descriptions, and titles for your own listing.
- Prepare the textbook for listing. Make sure all the companion materials are with your book (if you have them); gently clean the covers of the book to remove any debris like dirt or scuff marks.
- Photograph the book. Your listing allows for 6 pictures, so you'll want to make sure you display relevant pictures that will help sell the book.
- Take pictures of any damaged areas so buyers know what they are getting for the money they are paying.
- Use bright, natural lighting instead of low or indoor lighting in front of a simple background for the best pictures. Your textbook can easily get lost in a cluttered background.
- You can photograph or scan key pages as well as any companion material if it helps sell the book.
- Search for your book. Similar to researching your book before selling it, go to ☰ > Books & Audible > Textbooks, then enter the ISBN, title, or author of your book. Click another textbook in the listing that's similar to yours.
- Click . You'll see this on the left side of the page, under the cover image of the book and its ISBN-13 and ISBN-10.
- Sign in or create an Amazon Seller account. If you have to create an Amazon Seller account, you may need to verify your identity and some personal information before continuing. For more information, you can read the guide on How to Start Selling on Amazon.
- Describe your textbook. Since you clicked a similar item to sell with, most of the details for the listing will be generated. You'll be able to describe the condition of your textbook as New - Used/Acceptable.
 - New is just like it sounds -- new, unused, probably still in any shrink wrap or the original packaging.
- Used - Like New can apply to any lightly-used book that was hardly touched. For example, if you took off the packaging and thumbed through the pages occasionally, but did not leave any creases or marks, you might have a textbook in New - Like New condition.
- Used - Very Good indicates the textbook might have a few minor cosmetic defects like marks, scuffs, cuts, bends, and wear on the cover, spine, pages, and/or dust cover. The textbook could also be missing its companion bundled media.
- Used - Good indicates that the book is intact (with or without a dust cover), with signs of wear, especially on the spine. There could also be some highlights and marks on the pages as well as a sticker on the cover similar to "From the library of…" The textbook could also be missing its companion bundled media.
- Used - Acceptable indicates the pages may have some highlighting, notes, marks, and/or water damage, but the text should still be readable. The outside of the textbook will show wear, cuts, bends, scuffs, and marks, and the dust cover may be missing.[3]
- List your book. After you've followed the on-screen instructions to describe your textbook, you'll see a confirmation page of your listing.
- Once your listing is posted, potential buyers may message you to ask a question. You can access these communications in your Amazon Seller Central dashboard (https://sellercentral.amazon.com/).
- Amazon allows you to print shipping labels from your own printer to make shipping faster. If you're trading-in your textbook, you have 7 days to ship the textbook once the trade-in order is submitted. If you're selling as an independent seller, you can set the shipping options and any additional costs on the listing's page.
- To avoid water damage while shipping, you should wrap your book in a plastic bag before putting it in an appropriately-sized box or envelope.[4]

| How to Sew Patches on Jeans by Hand Posted: 28 Apr 2020 09:00 AM PDT If you aren't a fan of distressed jeans, tears and rips can be both unwanted and annoying to fix. While clothing repairs can be a bit inconvenient, you don't need a lot of sewing knowledge to get the job done. All you need are some basic sewing supplies, like a needle and thread, along with a denim patch. If you'd like to make your patch extra secure, you can use an iron and fusible material, as well! [Edit]Assembling and Ironing the Patch - Trim away any loose or fraying threads with scissors. Cut along the edge of the fraying strands, creating a smooth edge along the rip in your jeans. Check along the edges of the rip and trim away any visible fuzz balls, as well.[1]
- When you patch your jeans, you want the edges of the rip to be as smooth as possible.
- Flip your jeans inside-out and set them on a flat surface. Tuck in the legs of your jeans so the seams are visible. After folding the fabric inside out, smooth out the material so there are no obvious wrinkles near the area that you're trying to patch. To make the repair process easier, set your jeans on an ironing board, table, or another flat surface.[2]
- Cut out thin sections of fusible interfacing to line the perimeter of the hole. Measure the edges of your rip with a soft measuring tape. Use fabric scissors to trim 4 thin, rectangular strips of fusible material that match the dimensions of the rip. Try to make your strips of fusible around wide, or wide enough to support the inner edges of the rip.[3]
- These strips of fusible material go along the inner edges of the rip, which provide extra support. They create a "frame" of sorts around the rip.
- Arrange the fusible interfacing around the edges of the ripped denim. Line the strips around the bottom, sides, and top of the rip. If necessary, overlap the strips so the tear is completely surrounded with fusible material.[4]
- Since your jeans are already on a flat surface, you don't need to pin the fusible material into place.
- Place a section of denim or premade patch on top of the hole. Choose a patch that slightly overlaps the edges of your rip so it stays in place. If the patch is too big, use a pair of fabric scissors to trim and adjust the edges. Make sure that the patch overlaps with the strips of fusible interfacing as you center over the rip.[5]
- You can purchase premade denim patches at a craft store, or any store that sells craft supplies.
- If you have leftover denim from an old project, you can use that instead!
- Iron the fusible interfacing strips and patch over the hole. Set your iron to medium heat with the steam setting turned off. Drag the iron over the patch and fusible material, applying an even amount of pressure as you go. Let the patch cool completely before you make any additional repairs.[6]
[Edit]Stitching the Patch into Place - Secure the corner of the patch in place with a looped stitch. Thread a sturdy sewing needle with a thread that matches the color of your jeans, making sure that it's knotted on 1 end. Sew through 1 corner of the patch, looping the thread backwards and over the edge of the patch. Stitch the corner multiple times so the patch doesn't shift or move.[7]
- Try using sewing needles designed specifically for denim.
- Your stitches don't have to be perfect—they just have to connect the patch to your jeans!
- Use a zig-zag motion with your thread to sew around the edges. As you stitch the rest of your patch, try crossing your stitches over one another to form an "X." Continue this pattern along all 4 edges of the patch so it's attached securely to the rest of your jeans. To make sure that your patch is super secure, sew around the perimeter of your patch 3 times.[8]
- Knot the thread every few stitches to keep the patch secure. Thread the needle through both the jeans and patch to form a large loop. Instead of tightening the loop and creating a stitch, thread the needle through the loop instead. Pull the thread tight to create a knot, then continue stitching along the edge of the patch.[10]
- Be sure to knot the thread at least once along each edge of the patch.
- Create a final knot once you've stitched the patch in place. Pull your needle through the patch to create another loop. Thread your needle through the loop, then tighten the thread to create a knot. At this point, trim off any excess thread with a pair of fabric scissors.[11]
- Iron over the patch and fusible interfacing to provide extra reinforcement. Use the same iron settings as you did before, leaving the steam settings turned off. Rub the iron over the fusible material and denim patch, applying an even amount of pressure along the surface of both materials.[12]
- Snip away any loose threads from inside your jeans. Take your fabric scissors and trim any threads down to the edge of the patch. Once your patch is securely attached to your jeans, you can turn your pants right-side-out and wear them again![13]
