| Jan 2012 | Got full value back on book but kind of slow check delivery. | |
| Jan 2012 |
There is a hidden $3 fee if you send your books through fedex. Was not aware of this and did not expect it since I sent books to 3 or 4 other places around the same time and none had such a fee. When I called they agreed to give me the money back because there was a promotion to wave the fee that started the day after I placed my order, otherwise I probably would've been SOL. OK experience otherwise. They get 2 stars because the fee was not mentioned up-front or in any of the emails they sent only written in smaller print under the fedex options. Felt a bit like a bait and switch since they advertise free shipping. |

| Jan 2012 | They "never received my package." Since I handed it right to the lady at the post office on the same day I handed her about two dozen other packages of books to mail, as I do pretty regularly, and all of those books managed to get where they were going, as they do pretty regularly, I am way more inclined to blame SellBackYourBook.com for me being out both books and money right now. Whether the root of the problem is malice or incompetence will have to remain a mystery. | |
| Nov 2011 | I had a very positive experience. One book in my order was refused, but the why and wherefore were clearly laid out for me. Payment was fast in coming even though I changed the method of payment from 'check' to 'PayPal'. | |
| Oct 2011 | Great company! I am new to selling on the internet and they sent me an email when they received my books and then I received a check within the same week! I would recommend sellbackyourbook.com! | |
| Oct 2011 | Very happy! Prompt and friendly when they returned my email and I received my quoted price quickly. Thanks! | |

I sent them two packages of books. One package $22 dollars value of books. Another package $75 value of books. After more than 2 months they paid me only $22. Looks like they pay only if the books are cheap. This is not serious business. They promise you high prices on books and if you send them the books you don't get paid. Not recommended! |

| Sep 2011 | Great experience. Shipped via FedEx option costing $3. Got paid my $58 via paypal in about 2 weeks from date I shipped. | |
| Sep 2011 | I tried this company for three times thinking that it really takes about 2 weeks to get processed and be paid. 4 weeks later, no payment! | |
| Sep 2011 | I sent them my books and they said they never received them so i am out of the books and the money. | |
| Aug 2011 | Excellent experience! No problems. They had a special offer where you could ship by Fed Ex for free (no $3.00 charge). I took advantage of it as Fed Ex has tracking and insurance is included in the shipping price, and everything went fine. I was given full payment in my Paypal account in a very timely manner. | |
| Aug 2011 | I am tremendously impressed with this company!!! They have easy processing and real fast turn-around on payment. I have used many of the companies on Bookscouter but they are the best!!! | |
| Aug 2011 | A good company to sell your books back to. Fast receiving of books sent to them and fast payment via paypal. Total time from shipping my package to them and getting my money via paypal- less than 1 week. Might be a bit longer from different area of the country. Overall an excellent experience. | |
| Jul 2011 | Great service. Fast payment, less then 2 weeks. | |
| May 2011 | I've used them twice because they were offering so much more for specific books. Very speedy transactions both times - 9 days from mailing (using the free media mail label) to payment being added to my paypal account. They paid what they quoted, in one case, $12+ for a book that was quoted at no more than $5 by anyone else. | |
| Apr 2011 | Still waiting on check! Been 3 months. No one on the staff returns my endless calls or emails. Poof to $350! | |
| Apr 2011 | The site does not make it clear that there is a new policy that $3 is charged for FedEx orders less than $50. Disappointed when I saw $3 deducted from my orders. | |
| Mar 2011 | They paid the full price quoted. I receive payment in less than 10 days . Compare other sites they paid very fast. Everything perfect. No problems . | |
| Mar 2011 | Sent out some books to these guys. Got paid what I was quoted & in a reasonably timely manner. Great transaction! I rarely leave feedback for anything, but I'd like to mention it so others know they are a reputable dealer. | |
| Mar 2011 | Sent them a couple high-value books and was nervous about it. They paid the full price quoted, full turnaround time (from shipped to payment recieved) only 9 days. I'll be using them again. | |
| Feb 2011 | Did not pay me for the book. | |
| Jan 2011 | I mistakenly requested to be paid by check. I thought payment would be long in coming compared to PayPal; at least that has been my experience with other vendors paying by check. How wrong I was. I received payment quickly and could not be happier with the service. I will not hesitate to use SellBackYourBook.com in the future. | |
| Jan 2011 | Very pleased. Site is self-explanatory, correspondence/updates are frequent, and payment is prompt. Not always the best prices, but they're reliable. | |
| Jan 2011 | After sending my books, they claim there was a "pricing error" and they are sending my books back to me. In the meantime, the buyback price has gone down and I can't sell the book for the same amount anymore. | |
| Jan 2011 | Gave me exactly what was promised in a timely manner. | |
| Nov 2010 | great! very meticulous | |
| Nov 2010 | Fast excellent service. I highly recommend them. | |
| Oct 2010 | Super!!! Mail them books about a dozen times. Quick response and quick payment. | |
| Oct 2010 | This company was very prompt in giving me payment and they also paid top dollar for my stuff. Their website was also easy to use. I had one experience with customer service and they did a great job resolving the issue I had. I would recommend them highly to anyone looking to sell their books and get good money for them. | |
| Oct 2010 | I have sold books to this company three times and each time I was paid exactly what was quoted. | |

I am a frequent seller of books to various buyers listed on bookscouter.com. I am very careful to send book in very good condition, and only those requested by the particular buyer. Almost all of my books were rejected by this buyer. Beware of your dealings with them and select from the best of the bookscouter's list. |

| Sep 2010 | I got the ISBN directly off a like new book I sent in for buyback to sellbackyourbook.com. They e-mailed me and offered me a lower price ($11 less) rather than the agreed upon price at buyback time. Ripoff! | |
| Sep 2010 | Little contact once I sent books- unlike Powell's and Abebooks that let you knwo they have received books and payment is being processed. Very slow. 1 month and still awaiting payment. E-mailed a question and received prompt, but curt reply. Will not sell to again. | |
| Aug 2010 | This company is a joke. I sent them a book and two weeks later I get an email from them saying that there is a pricing error. I need to contact them to tell them how to proceed. When I went to see what the asking price was now, it was much lower than I originally got quoted from any of the buybook places. I am quite upset about the situation. I would never use them. | |
| Aug 2010 | Super company to work with. Have mailed them books about 10 times and each time was great. Thanks guys!!! | |
| Jul 2010 | Took a while for a response to a question I had. But timely on paying. | |
| Jul 2010 | I sold over $200.00 worth of textbooks and was paid exactly what they quoted me. Excellent email communication and check came a couple weeks later. I did put books in a plastic bag in the box to make sure no water damage could occur from the post office. | |
| Jul 2010 | Perfect Transaction! I Received my check in 3 weeks...for the exact amount I was quoted!!! | |
| Jul 2010 | I recommend this company. I received the money that I was quoted in my Paypal account 2 weeks after I mailed the books. | |
| Jun 2010 | Have sent them several orders ranging from 1 book to 20 and they have always paid and processed promptly. | |
| Jun 2010 | I have been working with this company for almost 2 years Looking back at things I would say that 50% of my books were not paid for. Of course it was the big dollar packages such as paid for 20 dollar book but not the 69 dollar book. I have had no communications with them. So I suggest insure your package with this company. | |
| Jun 2010 | Fedex shipping and prompt payment! I sent in my books and got my check in the mail a little over a week later. | |
| Jun 2010 | Very fast turnaround! I sent books to several companies on the same day. This company paid the fastest. I am very pleased and will use them again! | |
| Jun 2010 | I shipped out my books the week before memorial day. The day they recieved my books which took about 4 days from the day i mailed them, I recieved emailed that said they had recieved them. And then on Memorial day I recieved the exact amount in my paypal. I will continue to use this company as well as a few others. | |
| May 2010 | This place is a piece of trash. I sent in a valuable book and they said was not in the condition that they require. The book was a very unique and valuable book then if you want the items back they charge $3.99 which is much more than the actual shipment of the book. Don't get hosed by this company. | |
| Mar 2010 | Overall, SBYB is a good company. They pay very well for most books and the processing time is above average. However, if your order is marked as being "manually processed" for some reason, be prepared for your emails requesting an explanation to be ignored. My order was received on the 2nd. It was marked for "manual processing" and four emails later I still don't know why. | |
| Feb 2010 | 4x's higher price than next best buyer when most would not buy my book. Web sign up is a bit lengthy, but they provide shipping label and paid only a couple weeks after receiving my book. | |
| Feb 2010 | They bought a rather old edition book of mine, service was very efficient. I received my check very promptly, no complaints. Website could use a little tweaking though. | |
| Feb 2010 | I received my funds in 8 days after shipping(via Paypal). Recommand. |
