(Note: Biblio.com does not charge commissions on shipping.) No monthly listing fee! Did you know that on most other sites you have to sell 6-8 times as much as you do on Biblio to to cover their monthly fees and make the cost of selling there even close to competitive with our fees? No hidden costs! Most other sites have hidden fees and costs that they nickel and dime sellers on, whether its a "variable closing fee", commission on shipping, or fixed shipping reimbursement. In fact, quite often, if you look closely enough, you are paying anywhere from 25%-40% of your monthly sales in fees! Curious about this?

Commissions and Fees Fulfillment Discounts
Biblio.com offers a way to discount your monthly fees and commissions of up to 15% off of your total fees due, for booksellers who maintain high fulfillment rates!
Your order fulfillment is a calculation used to determine how well you fill your orders received through Biblio.com. Customers do not see this rating, but the Biblio.com billing department does. If you regularly reject orders due to out-of-stock, or poorly listed inventory, then your fulfillment rating declines. Declining fulfillment ratings means less of a discount on your commissions. Maintaining a good inventory and updating your sold listings regularly can help you save on commissions every day at Biblio.com. Click here to find out more about our different commission discounts.
