My trade got cancelled
My trade got cancelled. Reason being - to many damaged books which wasn't true.
We had to agree to disagree.

Hello Karen,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and for your kind comments about our service. We're pleased to hear that you found us to be well organised and efficient, and we hope to see you trading with us again in the future.
We also appreciate your feedback regarding our prices. We always aim to offer the most competitive prices possible; however, the values we can offer are closely linked to supply and demand within the second-hand market, which is largely beyond our control. We continually review our pricing to ensure it remains fair and competitive.
Best regards,
WeBuyBooks
Excellent Service
The whole experience of listing and posting books, to sending them off and receiving payment, was straightforward and efficient. Will definitely recommend to others.

Recommend WEBUYBOOKS
Webuybooks are very good at accepting nearly all the books I send.
Not all ways the top prices, but generally a quick payment system.

Overall a good new app service
Being able to instantly value books and build a box for sale was very helpful. We were paid the amount agreed promptly. It's a really helpful service. I would have given 5 stars but for 3 things. 1. Many of my books, purchased as new paperbacks, were only valued at 20p. I removed these from the basket and donated them. 2. It is more difficult to value books without a barcode, I hope they find a way of overcoming this. 3. The Evri delivery hub we were directed to do not print labels like the one we were sent and we had to take the parcel home, sort the label out and then take it back for sending. Maybe the labels can be changed so all Evri places can print them? Small things to improve, but overall a good service and we will be using it again.

A straightforward service
A straightforward service. Books into box and post office picked up and a couple of days later the money was in my bank.
Great

We Steal Books
One star is too many!! Sent a few boxes and received the payment I expected with no problems. Then I sent a larger consignment including some more high value books (one quite rare). Lo and behold, some of the books they’d agreed to buy and I had definitely packed were apparently ‘missing’ and others were ‘damaged’ and I would not receive the amount they’d initially quoted. All the books I’d ever sent were in very good or excellent condition and it could hardly be a coincidence that it was the higher value books that were ‘damaged’ and the rare one that was ‘missing’. This is blatant out and out criminality; I’d go so far as to say theft. They pay out on your first consignments to get you hooked and then start coming up with excuses not to. What a great business model, rare books for free! And just bear in mind they will refuse to prove the ‘damage’ to you or even return what is YOUR property (they told me these books would be pulped. As if!!) and as for proving that a book I know I included is somehow ‘missing’…how do you do that? Well done on whoever came up with this scam at We Steal Books. I no longer buy their books from any online platform and be aware they sell under different names. They need investigating by Trading Standards at the very least. Be warned.
