The textbook management secrets are out there, waiting to be discovered by intelligent students who are sick and tired of the skyrocketing prices they are required to pay by campus bookstores.
Selling or buying college textbooks online is much simpler than it seems. You dont have to spend a lot of time and energy going from bookstore to bookstore trying to get a better price for the books you invested so much in or trying to find and buy textbooks at decent prices. If some students are still reticent about buying or selling books from the internet, the following aspects will make the process much more convenient and easy for them:
1. If I want to sell textbooks, how should I proceed? The process is quite simple even for inexperienced users who have never done this before. Simply type in the ISBN code and see what your book is worth. If you decide to go ahead and sell it, you will receive money in your account within a few days and you will not be charged for shipping costs.
2. Where is the ISBN on my book? The ISBN code is located usually on the back of your book and sometimes on one of the first pages. You can use this code to search for books you want to sell, buy or rent.
3. Will I have to pay for shipping taxes? Shipping taxes are usually covered, as many bookstores will provide prepaid shipping labels for customers who decide to sell their books.
4. How will I get payment for the books I sell? You can opt for instant payment to your PayPal account or wait for a check. No matter what option you go for, payment is always prompt and fair.
5. How will I know the book Im buying is in good condition? Every book sold or bought off online buyback stores has to be in compliance with certain rules and regulations. For instance, the book you want to sell must be in a good condition, and this means it will only show minor signs of wear. Books with signs of water damage, excess highlighting, missing or loose pages are not accepted as salable, therefore no student looking to buy textbooks will be at risk to buy unusable materials.
Some students are concerned that it usually takes a long time to register with online stores, to place orders or keep track of transactions, when in reality its as simple as it gets. All you need to sell textbooks or buy used ones is a couple of minutes to create your account, the ISBN for the textbooks you want and thats that!
