ISBN stands for International Standard Book Number. An ISBN is a ten or thirteen-digit code used to identify a book. Each book has its own ISBN. You can find the ISBN on the back of a book near the barcode or on the copyright page.

Always enter the ISBN without dashes and don't leave off the leading zeros. Sometimes an ISBN can end with an X.

In the example below, the ISBN is 0072229691.

Selling your books takes 4 easy steps:

• Step 1 - Enter the ISBN of a book you want to sell then click "Sell It".
• Step 2 - Update the quantities and click "Update". Then repeat Step 1 for any additional books you have to sell.
• Step 3 - Click "Finish". Then enter your name and address information. Click "Continue".
• Step 4 - Print your packing list and mailing label. Box up your books and mail them to us.

That's it! Drop your books by the post office and you're on your way to having a check in your hand.

No! Not if you use our prepaid, Media Mail label and the U.S. Postal Service. We have prepaid for your shipping. Be sure to print the prepaid mailing label and attach it to the package you are sending your books in. However, if you want tracking and/or insurance on the package, you can pay the additional expense and still use our prepaid label.

If you do not use the prepaid mailing label we provide (i.e. if you want to ship via FedEx or UPS), you must ship the books at your own expense.

Please note that if a buyback order is delivered to WeBuyTextbooks.com in a USPS Priority Mail envelope or box with our prepaid label attached, the extra shipping charge will be deducted from your buyback payment.

No. Our prepaid mailing label pays for USPS Media Mail only. If you would like to insure your package or receive a delivery confirmation, you may do so at your own expense, as stated above.

Remember to package your books securely, in a box preferably. See our packaging guidelines for more information about packaging. We are not responsible for items lost in the mail.

Yes. We suggest making a separate order and printing a packing list for each box of books sent. Not doing so may delay processing your buyback, as this helps the receiving process run more smoothly as the packages arrive.

Please note that we buy no more than 9 copies of a title at a time, regardless of how many orders a customer places.  If we receive more than 9 copies of a title from the same buyback customer, the extra books we receive will be discarded. Items are not returned for any reason.

Packages sent media mail can sometimes take up to three weeks to arrive at our location.  Order processing may take a little longer depending on where you are shipping from and if it is during one of our busiest times of the year.

If we receive a package that appears to be missing a book or books, we will notify you via e-mail and inform you of the problem (in some cases, there may be damage to the package, for instance). 

Please note that WeBuyTextbooks cannot pay for items that arrive damaged (bent, torn, wet, stained, mangled, etc.).  The books will be examined and accepted or declined based on the condition received.  See the packaging guidelines for help with preventing damaged packages and missing books.

If we receive books that are not on your buyback list, those books will be immediately discarded or donated—unless we are buying those books. We will notify you if we find your book is unacceptable or if we receive the wrong book(s) and are not buying, but the books cannot be returned due to the volume of buyback orders and the charges incurred. 

We can only purchase books that we will be able to resell. This includes the following:

• Student edition textbooks
• Laboratory manuals, study guides, and solution manuals (must be free of any writing whatsoever and have all pages intact)
• Instructor’s editions (at 25% of original quoted price for student edition)
• Free/Complimentary copies (at 25% of original quoted price for student editions)

We CANNOT accept:

• Books that are water damaged, molded or mildewed
• Books that contain stains of any kind
• Books that have missing or loose pages
• Books that have missing or loose covers
• Books with a broken or damaged spine/binding
• Books that have excessive highlighting, underlining or marginalia
• Study guides, lab manuals, and other fill-in books with answers written in them
• International editions
• Facsimile copies
• Custom editions
• Annotated Instructor’s editions

Decisions regarding the condition of books we receive rest solely with WeBuyTextbooks.com.  All decisions are final. Again, if we receive unacceptable books or books that are not on your buyback list, those books will be immediately discarded or donated. Books cannot be returned due to the volume of buyback orders and the charges incurred.

We prefer that books sold to us have the original software or components. Books tend to be worth more when the additional software or material is included. If we receive a book that is missing a component such as a CD or other supplement, we will deduct $10 from the buyback price of the book—unless the buyback price is less than $10, in which case a percentage will be deducted.

You must include a copy of the packing slip we provide for you.

We will process your payment within 2 business days of receiving your book(s). You can choose to have your payment mailed to you via check or electronically sent via PayPal.

For those of you unfamiliar with PayPal, PayPal is a widely popular service that allows you to receive money electronically and transfer the money to a regular bank account or mail the money to you in the form of a check.  The money can also be left in the PayPal account to be used for future online transactions. All that is needed to begin receiving and sending payments via PayPal is an e-mail address.

WeBuyTextbooks encourages buyback customers to choose PayPal for their payments, as not only is it faster and more convenient than having a check mailed out, but it is also much more secure. 
PayPal is the world’s largest online payment service.  For more information, visit www.paypal.com.

We cannot accept International buybacks using our prepaid mailing labels.  We ask that international customers contact us if interested in creating a buyback order with WeBuyTextbooks.com.

Use this link: Reprint my packing list/shipping label. Note: you must have your Buyback Confirmation ID to reprint your packing list/shipping label.

Use the Buyback Status link located at the bottom of the page. You will need to provide BOTH your buyback number and the e-mail address associated with the buyback to view the status of the buyback.

We will process your payment within 2 business days of receiving your books. You can choose to have your payment mailed to you via check or electronically sent via PayPal.

While selling under multiple e-mail accounts is allowed, if multiple accounts are used to exceed the maximum number of books allowed per customer, we will discard the extra books we receive.

Do not create multiple buybacks to sell additional copies of an ISBN. If you have more than 9 copies of a title that you’re wanting to sell to us, please e-mail us with the title(s) you’re interested in selling more than 9 of so that we can check and see if additional quantities will be allowed. All items received in excess of the quantity limit (without prior authorization from us) will be discarded. Items are not returned for any reason.
