“Poor remuneration for some valuable books.”

“Very pleasant people to talk to, although I would have lost £12 due to a mis calculated deduction, but the people answering phone were very helpful in correcting”

“Reasonably happy with Webuybooks, they offered better prices than competitors for some items. The app is OK but when scanning items it doesn't tell you how much you are being offered for it before entering it into the basket, meaning you have to keep switching between the scan screen and basket to see if the price offered is acceptable. The biggest issue I have is being forced to use Evri when sending items, necessitating driving past 5 post offices to get to a drop off point and then waiting an inordinate length of time for them to arrive.”

“The app was very easy to use and you get quotes clearly and immediately. The sending and payment process was far longer than advertised. Chaotic Evri collection of boxes (someone just shoving boxes into their car boot!)9, which then took days to arrive with WeBuyBooks, and then there was another delay of days while they were verified and payment received. Don't expect anything like next day payment or the process to be as quick as advertised, but it does the job.”

“An easy way to sell books but the prices are a bit low.”

“Pay quickly which is good, but turn down books that are definitely reusable and because they charge to send them back they know you’ll leave them - so unsure if they actually get recycled or resold !”

“Good overall, free postage, easy process. On the downside prices are low, meaning that in some cases the number of books needed to fulfil the minimum amount means that the parcel would be too heavy to meet the weight criteria.”

“Really easy to use and mostly pleased, especially with free postage. However books are worth more than the money offered and books accepted at time of sale are often rejected when received, despite being good quality.”

“Acceptable prices paid for books, DVD’s and Cd’s, but a delay updating system to show trade en route/received results in late payments.”

Helpful Report

“It’s great to have a quick and easy way to sell unwanted books etc. and WeBuyBooks largely fulfils that need: dropping off parcels for collection is quite convenient, and payment is received pretty quickly. However there are a few issues. 1) The prices that they pay are quite meagre. Other similar businesses accept more books and pay more for them. 2) The current iPhone app has several annoyances, especially when inputting ISBNs for books with no barcode: too many clicks are needed each time and there is no dedicated numeric keyboard, leading to slower typing and more errors. Also the audio tones for accepted and rejected items are identical, so you have to keep a close eye on the screen.”

“The books the 'algorithm' buys can vary from hour to hour and they don't buy the range of education books they claim to”

“The service is good and my contact with the company helpful and polite, but I do wish you could give more idea of what you want and what you don't want. I spent hours scanning books only for them to be rejected without my knowing why. Is there some way you could be a bit more helpfully specific, particularly where popular authors are concerned .... in my case you rejected everyone from David Suchet to the Queen!!! Just a thought.”

“It was ok. To sell was straight forward, but I have not received any payment which is a bit annoying, cos it means I have to chase this up.”

“I like it. it's just I think you should offer more for certain books also postage takes forever. Also Hermes/ evri are the only option in postage I have to go to the next town to post anything.”
