Good as new
Purchased a talking book off this company via Amazon. I love talking books but, in my experience, they tend to be few and far between, which is a great shame. Moreover, when I do buy them on-line, they tend to arrive in pretty grim condition, with a broken case or scratched discs or both. Not in the case of WeBuyBooks, however. The talking book arrived promptly, and both the casing and the discs were in excellent condition. Very pleasing. Rival companies should take note.

Problems scanning with the app
On the plus side, I really appreciate the fact that parcels can now be sent using Royal Mail rather than Evri (which was VERY unreliable) and payment is vry quick -- but I have not been impressed with the app. Sure, it makes it "easier" to scan rather than type in the ISBN, but not when I have to keep checking and correcting the data. I have sent six boxes of books and in each one there were at least two that gave the wrong title for the ISBN. When I realized, I tried a second scan (same) then had to check the basket and figure out which book was misidentified. A paperback "Little Women" went through as "Frankenstein" as one example. If it left the wrongly id-ed books in, the payment was reduced, with nothing for the actual books I'd sent.. a lot more trouble than doing the listings on my laptop!

Hello Lisa,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're really pleased to hear that you've found the switch to Royal Mail more reliable and that you've been happy with our quick payment process.
We're sorry to hear about the issues you've experienced with the app incorrectly identifying books after scanning. We understand how frustrating it is to have to double-check and correct titles, particularly when it affects the valuation of your order. This isn't the experience we want our customers to have.
We'll make sure your feedback is shared with our development team as we continue to improve our service. In the meantime, if you ever notice any discrepancies before sending your items, or have any concerns about a trade, our Customer Services team will always be happy to help.
Thank you again for your feedback and for continuing to use our service.
Best regards,

Easy cash and give you book second chance
We buy book, make selling books easy. And you give our book second chance to be loved again, rather end up in the bin, which makes me really sad.
All you got to do, pile the book that you done with it, scan( where you get instant price. Take to the post, or wait DPD comes to pick up. And get cash. Easy. Thank you We Buy Book.

Very easy service to use
Very easy service to use, just scan, pack & We Buy Books will do the rest including free collection. The easy way to rid yourself of lots of books in one go.
On the down side, they don't take all that many titles, only took about a 1/4 of what I wanted to sell & their buy price is very low. However you don't do it make money, its really the convenience that would encourage me use them again should I need to.

Brilliant Service
We had many books to dispose of and decided to try this company. They took a fair amount of our books and we were relieved they just insisted on "readable" books unlike other companies that were looking for perfection. The parcel was picked up promptly - confirmation received within 48 hours and money paid!! Really impressed - thank you
