Lets get started on how to sell used books in India
On Bookflow you can sell used books and new books too. Start off with signing up on Bookflow via email or available social options.
Once you are registered, click on ‘Sell Books‘ button to get started. The bookselling form is divided into three parts and here I am going to explain each option you have to fill.
Title – Fill the name of the book you are selling. If you are selling multiple books in single ad, make sure you give an understandable title to the ad. Do not use your personal name in title or words like sale, used, discount, 50% off, untouched, etc.
Category – We have divided this into main & sub-category and have tried to include all available categories related to books. Make sure you select both options before proceeding. If you think any specific category is missing, you can submit a request for that in ‘Need help’ option or via support@bookflow.in email.
Type of Ad – Here we give you option to place buy and exchange requests along with sell. If you are selling books, just select sell.
Price Type – Being Indian, you have option select price type as fixed, negotiable or price on call.
Price – You need to mention the price at which you are willing to sell books. Do not write MRP but selling price.
Item condition – Simply select used or new as per the condition.

Photos – You can drop up to 3 photos of your book you are selling. It is suggested that you upload horizontal/landscape mode photo instead of vertical ones for better visibility on book ad page.
Tags – Please consider this as hashtags option. You can add terms related to books like jee advance, electronics, motivational book etc.
Publication/Author – Many times the same book can be from different publications. You can mention that here.
The other fields below will change as per the category you select.

Mobile Number – Buyer can either call you on the number you mention here or via Bookflow chat. Giving mobile number is not required but it is advisable so buyer can contact you.
