Amazon: The largest retailer in the world
If you are young, you don't have a job yet, but that does not mean you are not making any money! If you have old textbooks, clothes, video games, toys, etc. that you no longer need or use, sell them online!
There are many ways to make money in today's society and the Internet is always changing every day. Here are some easy steps to selling items on Amazon:
Step 1: Find something you no longer need and find a box or sturdy bag to put it in. You will want to do this in a place where you can easily access it when needed, such as your home.
Remember that the items you sell must be in good shape - no ripped clothes or broken toys!
Step 2: After you have put the items in a bag, add any other items you may want to sell too. You can add them to your Amazon Seller account or make another one for the extra products.
Step 3: Take good photographs of the products using a phone or digital camera and upload them onto your computer. Then open an Amazon Seller Account or open a new one if you have already used that email before. If the photographs are too dark or blurry, they might not be accepted.
Step 4: Find your product(s) and select them from the drop down menu. Remember to make sure they are in good condition! Once selected, click "Add to cart." You can also add a picture from your computer by clicking "add image" and click "Sell yours here."
Step 5: After adding all of the products you want to sell, find a shipping option. This is the part where most people get confused. Amazon will give several options with delivery times and prices that you need to decide on. You can also choose to let Amazon ship the product(s) for you.
After all of this is finished, click "continue" and finish your order! After finishing checkout, all you have to do is wait patiently for your money. You will receive an email once the product has sold successfully. Be patient - it might take a while before you receive the money!
Now that you know how to sell items online on Amazon, you can make extra cash by doing what many other teenagers are doing. If there is an item you no longer need or use, why not sell it for some spending money?
Have fun!
