      Assess the textbook's condition. Is it in excellent condition? This means that the textbook could pass for just about brand new. Is the textbook in good condition? Good condition is when all of the pages of the textbook are accounted for, but the binding may be a little loose, or there may be a few marks in the book. Is the textbook in fair condition? Fair condition is when the textbook may be missing some pages or contain writing throughout the book. Finally, there is a category for poor condition. If your textbook is in poor condition, you might as well scrap it, because no one will buy it.

      Choose whether you want to list your textbook on eBay or Amazon. Amazon will leave your listing on for a long time, while eBay is designed to sell your book within a week. Amazon doesn't charge you a fee, however, where eBay does. You can also try eBay first and then resort to Amazon if eBay doesn't work.
