Question on selling textbooks

[miri]

I am selling some textbooks on half.com since my school would not buy them back. My question is shipping, what is the best way to ship them? Does the post office have special package for books? Can I just wrap them up with a grocery paper bag?

For some reason it will not let me upload a image, I get this error message,

Proxy Error

It works fine if I do not upload a image. Anyone know why?

Just for priority and you do not want to ship books that way. Media mail is the way to go.

you probably want to pack it nicer than just with paper bag. see whether does the post office offer any packing material that will fit the textbooks.


anyway, Post Office has regular rate, Priority Rate (fastest, cost more), and Media Mail (cheap, and only apply to printed materials). Depends on the "shipping setting" and buyer preference, you can either ship Priority or Media Mail. but if you set to Media Mail only, the buyer has only that choice.
