Thank you for your review.
Great service - I would recommend
It was a simple process to download the app, scan books, DVDs and CDs then get an offer. But be patient, you have to scan a lot of books before you find those they will pay more than 20p for, but it is definitely worth the effort. Packing and posting was simple using Evri drop off. Two boxes sent £20 received and I was paid promptly. Very pleased with this app and service.

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

The whole experience of listing and posting books, to sending them off and receiving payment, was straightforward and efficient. Will definitely recommend to others.
