Rated 4 out of 5 stars

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

The process was easy. I only didn't give 5 stars because after my shipment was received, I received an automated email saying that my package hadn't been received. However, customer service responded... See more

A mainly good experience, although for some reason I lost my basket and had to start again, but suspect user error! My only disappointment is when they claim a book is not in the parcel and you know... See more

Mobile app is easy to use, although it is quite difficult to see the whole basket on the screen. Even when I tried to edit the basket, it wasn't showing all of the books. I had to use the computer t... See more

SELLER’S BEWARE ON SENDING HIGH VALUE…

SELLER’S BEWARE ON SENDING HIGH VALUE ITEMS! PLEASE READ! Stole my copy of the book club edition of the Stand by Stephen King. Was in flawless condition (normally goes for around $60-$70 online). They lied and said it had “water damage” and kept the book without any payment from the original offer. They refused to return the book or listen to me at all, definitely one of the most bizarre and unprofessional experiences of my life, these people are clearly selectively scamming people on high value items. Do not sell to them, it’s a total ripoff!
