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!
