From Dust to Dollars on Amazon

The fastest way to make money on Amazon is by re-selling stuff you´ve bought through the site.

Sound like a lot of trouble? Actually it couldn´t be easier. And listing items is FREE. If they don´t sell you pay nothing.

Amazon keeps track of everything you´ve bought on the site since 1999. Why not look through the list of items you´ve bought from past years to find items you can re-sell? That DVD collection of Season 1 of NYPD Blue that you just had to have? Well perhaps now it´s just gathering dust on a bookshelf somewhere. The same goes for that book you bought for your book club. Maybe you could use the cash more than the book right now.

Let´s get started!

1) Log into Amazon under your account (enter your email address and password)

2) Click on the Your Account hyperlink on the upper right-hand side of the page

3) Click on View Older Orders under the Purchase History column

4) Click on the View Order button to get to the record of your order

5) Click on the item´s hyperlink to get to the item´s Amazon page.

6) To sell an item, click on the "Sell yours here" button in the More Buying Choices box on the right

7) Follow the prompts to list your item in under 60 seconds

To sell items you´ve bought in other years look for the words "Don't see what looking for?" at the bottom of the page (from step 3), and use the pull-down menu to select orders from years past.

You´ll need to provide credit card and checking account information so Amazon can pay you. But you only need to do that once. After that you´re set, and you´ve become one of the 1-million plus "third-party" sellers on Amazon.
