[Hidden-tech] selling on Amazon

It costs nothing up front to sell books on Amazon.  Only their commission and fee after the sale.  See link above.

Ditto for eBay.

too many e's+a's etc
Right ebay is a good one to try also

One area to watch closely is shipping cost:
Amazon at low volume is NOT free to the buyer - and setting up for 
various zones can be a bit tricky esp if not ship out of the USA.
We got bit from Ebay on not setting the cost + shipping cost right.

Also watch for USPS book rate -- the rules have some catches - like 
magazines have ads and so do not qualify.
