You should listen to patio11. He's basically saying 'fake it until you make it' and this is the key to success. You need to fake the transaction until you're big enough that you no longer need to fake the transaction. Reddit did this to get started and so have millions of other projects. You need to build the system so that they pay you before they take possession of the book. Also build or scrape an already existing book search website. Basically, take the cheapest one there and buy it and then try to sell it for cheaper than Amazon. Even put that so they can see it. Amazon, with shipping, is $98.54 but we are $94.94. Try to break even on each of these, and then scale it up. As for why you can't meet them? You already graduated, you're selling it for your dead cousin, you found a bunch of your brothers old text books, you transfered universities, you got a job, etc.
