[Method] $750+ per month with eBay; no investment

Well first of all you need at least 5 feedback before Ebay take limits off holding new sellers money for 21 days. Also with new accounts they have the 500 dollar limit or 10 items sold per month. In order for this to work you would need multiple accounts.

I see..
I'll buy an account.

Anyone know an alternative way to get a free .edu account?
I know one but it doesn't work anymore.

That's a pretty nice method.
I'm about to try it but I've got some questions before

Not sure, I never actually used that method myself. I just figured out how someone else was doing it when I bought a book off eBay.

Another version of this method is drop shipping books from Amazon to your eBay buyer. This actually happened to me and I figured out the method.

1) Get an Amazon Prime account (free for students if you have or can get a .edu email address)
2) List books on eBay that you can drop ship from Amazon. Mark up the price 0.50c to a dollar. Use an eBay calculator to figure out how much profit you can make.
3) Set your eBay shipping price at 4.99.
4) Complete orders using the free shipping provided by Amazon.
5) Collect your $$$

Extra tip: what caught my eye on ebay was the seller said free upgraded 2 day shipping. 2 day shipping compared to media mail (5+ days) was an easy choice.

I like this method. Using the free shipping on Amazon can help to make a bigger profit on ebay.

Another method is ask a question about that book with another Ebay account saying Is this cheaper than Amazon?

Then you reply saying you can check yourself at this (affiliate URL) or affil URL on a website however we have the very short Amazon cookie to deal with

I tried this method a few weeks ago after seeing the other thread and sold about 100 books before being BANNED by thebookdepository with all my open orders cancelled. Dropshipping IS against their TOS and it is difficult to stay under the radar with the multiple addresses you'll be registering in your account.Plus I had a few books with delayed shippement and buyers filling Paypal claims. No tracking number = no way to prove shippement = buyer will get the refund.
The net profit after eBay fees and the refunds is ridiculous and not worth the effort.
