Many of you may have read my previous articles about How to Sell Books on Amazon. This article is its extention. If you have been in the book selling business, you know how important it is to attract more customers or in other words, to increase your sales.

One way to do that is to increase your market presence. I am already a seller on Amazon and now I am expanding book selling business to Half.com.

It's an Ebay own company, however, it's totally FREE to list book and only collects commission if the item is sold. And you can list books, textbook, movies, music, games, etc. To start selling on Half.com, you can follow simple steps below:

1. Register to be a seller on Half.com: Even though you have Ebay ID, you still need to register as a seller on Half.com. Go to http://www.half.ebay.com/, click on My Account link at the top of the page to log in to your account. you can use the same user Ebay name/password for Half.com
