Better to sell books on Ebay, Half, or Amazon marketplace?

I've only sold on Ebay before, so i have no selling experience on either of the other two sites (although i've purchased from Half.com before)

Which is a better site to sell books at?
 
Ahh, didnt notice my ebay rating would show on Half... very cool 🙂
 
Stupid question, but what method are people using when they Expedite Shipping?

For instance, i have a 4lb book i'm selling however other sellers list it as $4.99 expedited shipping... Priority would run me $10 to ship that book, while media mail is only $2.49..... Are they just taking a loss on priority?

Will it fit in a flat-rate envelope?
