Flash Fundraiser! Selling Used Books For a Cat Rescue

I haven't officially opened my shop, however, I did start with a flash fundraiser!! This means a lot to me. I listed 20 vintage books over on my shop's Facebook page, which you can find here, Hyla Brook Books.

I sold The Gospel According To Sam for $4.95 and Wilder Girls for $5.00. For two books, I charged $5.99 for shipping. My reader's total was $15.94.
The Paypal fee was $1.05. After the Paypal fee, the net amount is $14.89. The shipping ended up being $5.05, and to pay for the label through Paypal there was a $1.80 fee. And then there is a cost to print the label, which is .50 cents.
Our donation amount was $7.54!

Next, sold A Wolf at the Door for $7. It has a lot of amazing writers in it. And Walking with Peety, which looks very endearing, for $3.95. The shipping was $5.99. My reader's total was $16.94.
The Paypal fee was $1.08. After the Paypal fee the net amount is $15.86. My shipping costs were $4.35. Of course, there's the small charge to print which is .50 and to pay for the label was $1.80.
Our donation amount then was $9.21!

I used pirate ship to buy my labels to save on shipping, but I did not see the Paypal billing processing fee. If I had, I probably would've just went to the post office myself.

I like having printed shipping labels, instead of writing them down, that's another reason why I use Pirate Ship.

It also helps me catalogue all my shipping orders!

Still, wish I had seen that fee first!

In total, I turned 4 books into $16.75 in donations to Nine Chances Rescue!!! I'm going to round that to $20 and send that to her!

Please support what she does by giving her Facebook page a like!
