Easy to post off and communications were good, app was fairly easy to use. Payment was prompt. Of course, my gripe is the small amount paid per book and also that the proffered amount and the desirabi... See more

DPD collected both boxes of books…

DPD collected both boxes of books (references 11807466 and 11818806), but I’ve only been paid for one. You keep asking me to send the second box before you can pay me, even though it has already been collected.

My emails have bounced back and I’ve been unable to contact you through the app. This level of service is unacceptable. Please investigate the collection with DPD, confirm which box remains unpaid and arrange the outstanding payment without further delay.

I easily scanned my books

I easily scanned my books, they gave me specific directions to mail them and I sent them off. They sent a check for payment. Easy peasy!!

Wicked EASY

So easy to do! Scan, package, print your label and send for free. Then you get paid! It’s brilliant and very user friendly

This is a great way to Sell Your Books

This is a great way to Sell Your Books. All you have to do is scan the book and you will be informed whether the amount , box up the ones that you need to sell and they’ll send you a shipping label. You informed them how you want to be paid for your books and it’s a done deal. I am loving it.

Easy to sell excellent condition / near new books

Easy to scan, simple packing requirements, condition evaluated within expected time window, money transferred (payment) quickly after.
The only thing I wish is they allowed condition rating - if a "valuable" book is marked as good (visible wear, minor highlighting...) then a reduced price could be offered. I have a few books that could be sold as good or very good that are worth $10+. Their policy implies that books shipped to them that are less than excellent / near new, won't be paid or returned.

It was ok

It was ok. I was disappointed that the new set of books I sent were marked as not included. So I lost out on just over £3 of the trade. The only bonus was that I had used a voucher and that gave me a bit extra. I wouldn't use the service again.
