    eBay works, what some people do as well is put notices on walls saying they're selling textbooks, or if your course or uni has a Facebook page/group post it there.

    If you're selling online, I've found that Amazon works better than eBay - it's much better set up for selling books, listing items is quicker, and there's no waiting for other people to pay before you can post the book out.

    Amazon used books are way to expensive compared to ebay ones

    Well seeing as they still sell well on Amazon, that would be quite a good thing for OP
