“They gave the obviously pitiful valuations of my books then when I sent them to them they claimed that they were damaged and not of high enough value to send back to me so destroyed them. No evidence of the damage was provided to me and no evidence that they were destroyed, so I have no idea if they stole them from me and sold them on. I would not use this company as they use highly questionable business practices.”

“Very disapointing. I spent days sourcing boxes snd hours sorting my books. It was s complete waste of my time. I wasted time waiting in for the postman to collect. Then eagerly waiting for my expected windfsll I received £5.51p. I probably spent more on packing tape.”

“I would never deal with them again. They said a book was missing (I know I packed it) and one hardback children's book was damaged and I know it was in perfect condition. They didn't accept two other books either but I agree that they were not in perfect condition but were collectors' items. I have purchased secondhand books in worse condition.”

“Increasing the minimum value to £7.50 has made it more difficult to find enough items for a box to send, especially as the amounts offered for each item are so low.”

“Did not pay the cash for all books I sent. Did not send the rejected books back, instead 'recycled' about half the books I sent without informing me. They basically took about 10 of the 20+ books for themselves, and did not pay. All the books I sent were in perfectly sellable condition! Terrible”

“the £7 .50 limit on parcels results in heavier boxes to send as most valuations are average at 15 p per book, which is dissapointing evri delivery service is pathetic, i shouldnt have t chase parcels that are taking 3 weeks to be delivered, its not even christmas overall the sevice is poor”

“I bought 2 books from the UK to America, and they put the 2 books in a paper envelope, so the one book got damaged, so not packaged well at all. The book was described as (Unread copy in perfect condition. Dust cover is intact with no nicks or tears. Spine has no signs of creasing. Pages are clean and not marred by notes or folds of any kind.) This book was very much read, spine was totally unattached to the pages and board cover bent backwards, the book was signed to someone and a note with signature from not the writer, the dust cover in back had very deap scratch marks all over it. I asked to return for a refund and send me a label, however they wrote to me and asked me to send it to the New York facility- with me paying for the shipping costs, and they would refund me after I get a receipt- Whom does that?? I want to add photos but don't see an option for that.”

“AVOID THESE FRAUDULENT SCAMMERS!! THEY WILL LIE AND STEAL FROM YOU. SHAMELESS. JUST LOOK AT THE NUMBER OF NEGATIVE REVIEWS FROM THIS MONTH (SEPT. 25). A SCAM.”

“I sent in two boxes of books. In the first I sent in some new unread books. They said there was damage but also wouldn't prove it. It wasn't the end of the world but when they do this I would rather just give my books to the charity shop in the future. Just feels very dishonest”

“I was not able to sell my books - the items weighed more than the limit for one parcel so I divided them into two parcels as per the instructions. When RM arrived to collect the parcels they only had one label. Due to the length of time it took WBB to respond to my query I was unable to resolve the issue in time to post them and had to donate the books to charity. I missed out on over £30 (and the charity received a good number of excellent quality books.)”

“I have 2 complaints against WOB. On 2 occasions my selling has stated "books not received". Ironically they include the most expensive ones. I could not get through on the busy telephone. I have had to use 3 different emails but still query is not resolved.”

“Despite publicity which promises a speedy response and pay out, my second parcel of books has been "en route" for 2 weeks now. When I first used this service, having listed half my books I took a short break but returning to the screen found that my listing had disappeared. Very annoying. On asking for an explanation and ways to prevent this happening again I received no reply. All in all, I am not impressed and I question whether I will use you again.”

“I sent several books to SellMyBooks/Ziffit in excellent condition—clean, intact, and fully readable. They later claimed some were “damaged” without offering any proof, refused payment, and conveniently cited their terms and conditions to avoid returning the books or discussing the issue any further. It’s clear that once they receive your items, they can say whatever they want and you have no way to challenge it. No transparency, no accountability, and absolutely no integrity in how they operate. I strongly advise against using this service. There are other companies out there who treat their customers with honesty and respect—this is not one of them.”

“I have completed x2 trades with 'webuybooks' and on both occasions they have deemed one or more of the books I've sent as unacceptable condition to sell. When in fact they were better condition than some I had bought/received from we buy books!! When you are then asked one of two options; they recycle or they send back to you. So on second occasion I asked for it to be sent back. Only to find they have deducted to cost from the amount they then pay you! When I queried this, I get the statement, it was all written in the terms and conditions small print. Nice bidding behind the small print, only to then sell these free 'acceptable' books on their websites at a profit, from unsuspecting honest customers like us. Would not recommend, and have deleted the app. Pj.”

“Returned three of my books that I requested returned, but those "not in the offer" have disappeared. Although they were in the original offer. Less than impressed this time. I did expect those to be returned as well.”
