Questions about selling magazines
How do I price vintage magazines?
Look at recent asking prices for the same title and issue, and factor in condition, completeness and cover subject. You set your own prices.
Can I sell new issues of my own magazine?
Yes. List each issue, use options for back issues or bundles, and share the listing with trackable links and QR codes.
How should I ship magazines?
Ship flat in a protective sleeve with cardboard backing. Set shipping zones and rates in your shop to match the weight.
