message 1: by Dawn (new)

Dawn rizzi (dawnie278) So I had to share my new experience with you all.

Among all the swapping sites we belong to I have found a new fave.

I know most u won't benefit from this site unless your willing to pay a little more butif your a packrat like me it is amazing.

Read my Story
So I belong to bookins.com and they just started an ebay type program where you can sell anything and in return you get book credits instead of cash or to use to purchase other items on the site. It works like all of other sites except they charge I think it's $4.49 shipping per book plus points. More or less depending on the items. For example I loaded all my old cds and it's 3-8 points a cd plus about $3.38 shipping but the great part u don't pay the shipping the buyer does. I only joined Monday and so far I sold 5 items.
Here's my pros and cons verse ebay.com

Your items don't have listing fees.

They stay on until they are sold not unlike ebay where you have to constantly relist each week.

They use an Amazon database so as of yet I have not had to use my digital camera or upload any photos.

They print the postage for you. So if the items are small you can drop in any mailbox.

You will eventually get free books/goodies out of it
Buyer pays all shipping so until you request something back it's totally free.

Nicole  (nimabu) | 47 comments I use Bookmooch, it has worked for me thus far. I also started using Paperback Swap, but I'm going to look into Bookins.

Dawn rizzi (dawnie278) I think and I am not 100 % sure but both Bookins and Bookmooch I believe will ship to Canada. Did you guys know u can swap on here too? I just started.
