WOB are easy to deal with. An online scan, an arranged pick-up and we're off to the races. Seamless really. If I'm honest though, the books I sell don't warrant much of a cash return and by the time I... See more

In the past I have done really well…
In the past I have done really well with this company. However, currently I am waiting to trade and they keep sending me a daily notification saying use code TRADENOW10 and it doesn't work. I have contacted them, sent them a screenshot as requested and heard nothing back. Then I messaged again and they said I can't add codes once I have traded, despite explaining that I have not traded yet. In total I have now emailed five times and had no luck. It is such a disappointment as I have done so well in the past. Sadly, I think they need to work on the customer service.

This is a good way to get excess books off your hands but the money you give could be a little better. We pay for the postage as for the low prices. A lot of times the books are brand new and you still give the same price as a very good book. I would like to be able to note brand new and maybe get a little boost on what you pay.
Super easy experience
Super easy experience. The website led me through all the steps.

Transaction went really well.
frustrating experience
Ordered a book 10 days ago. Said it'd be 2-3 days, hasn't arrived. I can't find a way to send an email to anyone on their site, or talk to anyone, other than a bot who just says 'hasn't been dispatched yet'.
yep, I gathered that.
Was trying to do a good thing and not buy from Amazon, but you're making the case to go back there.

The whole process was quick and easy.
Double login loses books from my trade
Once the trade is accepted things run smoothly, but at least twice now I've logged on, added books to a trade, but when I've come to select sell my books I've being returned to the log on screen to log on and when I've done so my trade isn't there. When I try and add the books that were accepted, some of them are, some of them aren't. Very frustrating

Thought my box of books had been lost but once I let you know it was tracked down and I received my payment quickly
Duped Out of $100+ for my books
I sent in my books. They communicated well throughout the process via e-mail. They let me know when the shipment was received and after it had been reviewed. They told me I would have a little over $100 deposited into my PayPal account (per my request) and then sent me an email congratulating me on my "First Trade." That was a couple months ago. I've never received my money. When I try to respond to the emails I was sent, I get an error message stating the address isn't valid. Feels like a scam to me! Duped once, but I won't repeat it.
