The Frugal Fairy // Selling Books Online, Have You Heard of Pango Books?

Now you have! I have been selling books online and heard about this new app specifically to buy and sell used books. I've listed my first 25 books - see here my online bookstore.

My Pango Book store!

Check it out! There are some books I haven't listed in my Depop shop. Remember, my animal themed books are being sold to raise money for rescues. Please help me save innocent animals!

As a beginner seller you're going to want to know about these Pango Book features. I discovered these while exploring the app so hopefully this will act as some sort of guide to save you time.

What a Sale Looks Like

I sold my first book on the Pango Books app about 2 weeks after listing - I sold a vintage science fiction book called "Dragonsong" by acclaimed science fiction/ fantasy author Anne McCaffrey.

It sold on Pango Books for $4.95. The platform fee was .99 cents. My COG was free! That's 100% profit baby! The shipping label was paid for and goes through Pango Books - the buyer paid $3.57. My earnings were $3.96.

All I have to do now is package the book, print the shipping label, and schedule a pick up!

I am a part time reseller on Mercari, Pango Books, and Ebay. I flip books online, I love having an online bookstore. Here is a break down of my January sales. This was my first month back reselling!

A total of 9 books left the shop! 3 on Mercari 1 on Pango Books and 1 on Ebay. I also had 2 transactions on Paypal. (100% of the profits went to the rescue.) My goal is consistent sales, I ended up listing only 37 books in the month of January. More listings equals more sales!! My net profit was $17.28, BUT I di...

When Your Best Friend Pulls Out A Yearbook 2010

It's so crazy to look back at myself more than 10 years ago - my skinny jeans, converse wearing, side swept bangs and puka shell necklace self. I just noticed my legs are crossed in both photos. John Earl had a mega crush on me, and we were Literary sweethearts and he even bought me my first typewriter : a vintage Royal typewriter with a locking case. He ended up marrying a very pretty girl and he seems like the perfect husband. I was in Literacy Circle (a club for readers) all years in highschool and worked as a media assistant those years too. Funny how I'm looking at this photograph, 10 years later, selling books.

End of Month Reseller Report - July 2021

How much did I make in July? It's August 2nd and I'm taking a look back at my accomplishments. What Sold July 1-7 What Sold July 8-14 What Sold July 15-21 What Sold July 22-31 I made $235.54 selling books. I did my first ever listing challenge and I want to do another one - stricker dead line. List 100 Items in 13 Days. That's half the time it took to do the original challenge. 13 is also the date I was born. A Baker's Dozen. Perfect! When I told Joe at the Post Office I wanted to make $1k or $800 a month he blew a tire and looked skeptical, and he kinda laughed. We both did. Is it such a crazy idea that I deserve this? That at the end of everything, I'll be the owner of a secondhand bookshop. Some cool things I added to my shop: Magic The Gathering Cards, skirts, I opened my Ebay store and added items but haven't completed the set up. Also, my new goal is to make $100 each week by pursuing sales. Offering to likers on Depop which i never do - posting more i...
