SellbackyourBook - Sell books for Negative User Reviews
✓ Not worth itI scanned about 50 book and it wouldn't buy 1, crap site.Version: 1.1
✓ Not worth itA previous review was right, this app isn’t worth selling back your books the earnings are miniscule..Version: 3.2
✓ So frustratingI’ve tried to scan books three times, and always towards the end it deletes my entire cart and starts over. I’m just going to use the website now, but it’s incredibly frustrating..Version: 3.2
✓ Doesn’t workI couldn’t even manage to scan one book out of 10 that I tried. This shouldn’t be in the Canada App Store..Version: 3.2
✓ Waste of timeThey will only pay you 10-20 cents for most books, but won’t even let you checkout until you have over $7.50 in books. Unless you have dozens of books you’re selling, you can’t even checkout. Stupid and scammy..Version: 3.5
✓ IOS 15.4.1This update changes the layout of the results of scanning. It puts the result on the side of screen and you can’t see the results. Can you fix please. We love using this app..Version: 3.2
✓ Rip offThey offered me $3.75 for a brand new totally unused lab manual which costs over 100 new. It’s still in the shrink wrap. Don’t use this it’s a waste of time might as well go to the bookstore I’d prob get more money and that’s just sad..Version: 3.2
✓ Don’t waste your time even downloading this appI spent a good amount of time scanning each book in, granted it was a fairly easy process just time consuming, and the most they wanted to give me for a book was $.19. I know your probably thinking they were not good books but there was a lot of Nora Roberts and Kristen Hannah, which are both huge selling authors. I guess I’ll just do a little more work and go to my local book store to sell my books.Version: 3.2
✓ Bounced CheckThey sent me a check that was unreadable by my mobile deposit. So I went to the bank to cash it. Today I got charge $20 from my bank because THEIR check bounced!! Unbelievable! I had used them before, but never will again..Version: 3.2
✓ Terrible riddled with bugs.Could not even complete registration it kept failing multiple times. After scanning a ton of books too. Very frustrating.Version: 3.5
✓ Half Baked, Rushed, UnprofessionalI was hopeful for this re-design when I got the email notification but it falls flat on its face. First, only the introductory screens fill the larger iPhone X display (I’m even being forgiving of the misspellings like ‘not “metting” strangers’). Then the core of the app, once passed the introductory screens, isn’t optimized for the iPhone X or larger displays at all. It’s such a half baked effort to make the app compatible with new versions of iOS while still dragging their knuckles when it comes to actually updating the UI. It’s rushed, sloppy and unprofessional. It isn’t even a real effort. My recommendation: take your chances with “metting” strangers who might actually pay you a fraction of what your books are worth..Version: 3.0
✓ UselessWould be a great app if you could actually use it. Wasted time scanning all my books and when filling out the form to register it won't allow me to choose a state. Cannot complete the registration process without choosing a state! I read another reviewer had this problem a month ago. So at least a month has gone by and the developers have done nothing to fix it..Version: 1.2
✓ Buggy App, Terrible ServiceThey do give you the agreed upon amount for books they deem acceptable. That's the only pro. As for the cons, I sent in three max-packed boxes of books back in August. They were delivered to the company on August 5th, and a month later I got an email saying that nearly every book was rejected for "moldy smell.". These books came directly from my shelves in my house, opting not to spend the time to sell them on Pango Books and in dire need of space with a baby on the way. I can only assume the mold or mildew happened wherever they'd been sitting for a month. On October 10th, they sent me the meager payout for the few books they actually accepted (that were all on the same shelf, bought from the same place, and all lacking in a smell when they shipped.) I did have a return assurance guarantee where they ship books back to you that were rejected. Here it is over two months later and no word about the books that'd be returning. Upon going to their website, you get stuck in a support loop with their chat bot, Stella, where you explain the situation and Chatbot Stella tells you this looks like a question for....Chatbot Stella, and ends the chat. When you attempt to go directly to their linked support site, your virus protector will stop you for it being considered unsafe. When you go past the failsafe, the site fails and you're told it's invalid. Emails to support go unanswered. As for the app, the scanner is nearly useless and won't recognise most barcodes that Goodreads easily picks up with its scanner, forcing you to spend quite a bit of time manually typing in ISBN codes. Honestly, if you have this much time on your hands for pennies, spend the time using Pango Books. It's Poshmark for books. I regret thinking Sellbackyourbook was an easy answer and didn't just first go to Pango, where I get $3-40 per book with half the effort instead of 5¢-$1 for a months-long drama..Version: 3.5
✓ App is awfulI am pleased with the number and variety of my items they are willing to buy, but the app is infuriating. There is no way to edit your cart (delete items I don’t wish to sell because they don’t all fit in the box, confirm that my items are not duplicates after having to scan everything all over again). I literally cannot use this app to sell anything to them right now, and my box is all ready to be shipped..Version: 3.2
✓ Not ImpressedAfter several attempts to receive the mailing label, I gave up with no mailing label ever received. As soon as I signed up for this app, I was inundated with emails from other companies — perhaps they sold my information. Not impressed with this company..Version: 3.0
✓ CanadaWould it be possible to make this for Canada as well?.Version: 3.2
✓ Can’t RegisterI can’t register… get an Error message every single time. Can anyone help?.Version: 3.3
✓ Feels like a scamOffered $0.12 for the norton reader.. 2019 edition. This book is $30 retail. They guaranteed to pay the highest amount but my college is offering more. I just thought that they should not claim to offer a fair amount if it’s less than a quarter..Version: 3.2
✓ AlrightThe app knows the books that i key in, but it just says that none of the books are wanted..Version: 1.2
✓ It Cracked UpTook a day and a half to go through my books to find a box I could finally send. Spent two days trying to create an account with no ability for customer contact. Went in today and now my cart is empty and still cannot create an account. So over this app..Version: 3.2
✓ Doesn’t work on...Doesn’t work on my iPhone SE. Stuck on “Let’s Start” screen..Version: 3.0
✓ Needs a delete option.When checking prices there is no means to delete an item if I decide I don’t want to sell..Version: 3.0
✓ Never works. I’ve been trying for two weeks.When I get to the PayPal or check option I get two different errors and cannot complete registration..Version: 3.2
✓ App won’t accept password!Can’t log in to this app as it doesn’t accept my password and continuously says the password field is required..Version: 3.2
✓ Don’t usePlease go sell them else where. This app is absolutely scamming you. There is no way your book is only worth 14 cents. Go to your local thrift shop or find a Second and Charles..Version: 3.4
✓ The Consumer Protection Bureau Needs to Investigate this Company ASAPI could write a book, that I would proceed to not sell on SellBackYourBook, on how unethical and scammy this company is. No matter HOW badly you want to declutter quickly, variations of this company exist all over the web, so PLEASE take it from me and stay as FAR away from this company as humanly possible. They are wholly illegitimate and someone NEEDS to investigate what percentage of their profits comes from *stolen* goods, in a scheme whereby they quote you for an item, receive it, claim it is unusable and thus cannot release a payment, and yet they resell it anyway! $0 to you, 100% profit for them, and the cherry on the proverbial cake is that no matter WHAT you do, you will NEVER receive these items back, no matter how much you plead, even IF you PAY them to ship them back to you! It’s amazing that this company still stands- I do wish I could turn back time to before I mistakenly sent them a beautiful hardback edition of a beloved book, pristine and practically brand new, only to have it held hostage under the premise that it is unsellable, as well as my money hostage that I sent them for “shipping fees” to receive this book back. Did I get the book back at least? I did not- they proceeded to change their narrative and claim that they never received the book in the first place. I am usually disappointed but not surprised with unethical or illegal behavior , or just surprised but not disappointed- but this is one of those rare circumstances where I can be both..Version: 3.2
✓ ScamTakes like three weeks for your books to get there using their label. I think they put them on the back of a snail. Then they claim payment is issued but you never get it. Better off donating your books..Version: 3.2
✓ App problemsWould rate 5stars but app crashes everytime when scans 4+ books. Slows process and makes inconvenient, please update , and add account abilities on application that way i can pull up my account on cpu and print labels and ship, smooth process..Version: 1.2
✓ A complete rip off$0.10 for a book that worth $30? I would have been happy with something between $2-10 but for $0.10 is a complete rip off! On top of that you need to AT LEAST have $7 worth of books in the cart before you can even think about selling them. That a lot of books. I came here to try to get rid of books, but to not even get my money’s worth is absolutely disgusting..Version: 3.2
✓ Don’t fall for it. SCAMMING PEOPLEThey paying books $0.11, $0.12, $.13 only and they want you to ship it to them for free. Bunch of scammers.. shipping fee cost more than what they pay.Version: 3.0
✓ Bad appI would give this app a 0 if that was an option.Version: 3.2
✓ Payment infoI tried to add my PayPal email address and no matter how many times I put it in. It would not accept it. I fought with it for a half hour before I finally gave up and deleted the app. Didn’t even get to try to use the app. Not impressed..Version: 3.5
✓ Doesn’t workWill not scan the barcodes. FAQ page is blank. If I enter ISBN manually it does give prices. Then when you try to set up PayPal as the payment option and proceed it just says an error has occurred and doesn’t say what error and nothing happens. Useless..Version: 3.4
✓ Checkout Issues!!!The app is allowing me to scan my books but when I go to checkout, its says that they're are no books in my cart!!! Please fix this If everyone has this problem this business will fail!!!.Version: 1.2
✓ I quit; too much troubleI just spent waaay too much time scanning and entering ISBNs for low value books. The second time it dumped my completed shopping cart is the last time. I will look for another book service. Maybe I will check later in 2023 to see if the app improves. Good luck, folks..Version: 3.5
✓ Missing books or shady business ?I couldn’t afford the FedEx shipping option they offered, so I dropped my package off at the nearest USPS. It’s a cheaper and more convenient method. That was back in January and apparently they still haven’t received them. The tracking number that was given to me doesn’t work as well. So either my books are stuck in limbo somewhere or they have them and haven’t paid me. I contacted customer service but I’m still waiting on a response..Version: 3.2
✓ It scans butIt scans but it only took 5 books for less than 2 dollars I don’t feel that they are giving enough bank for your buck.Version: 3.5
✓ Not worth itNot worth dont even try, book I bought from them for 30$, when you scan it says they will give 60 cents..Version: 3.5
✓ Quite a letdownHave seven or eight books that I bought second hand and each had a piece of paper hyping this company. Downloaded this app and scanned each ISBN and lo and behold, there was only one that they would buy back ($.18). Some people may fare better but I certainly think it’s a joke..Version: 3.2
✓ Rip offI gave three star because of the convenience but really the price they offer is like 1-10% of the worth of the current market price. Which was shocking to me..Version: 3.5
✓ Get 10$ for 100 booksTried to sell roughly 170$ worth of hardback books in good condition and got about 5 and a half dollars back.Version: 3.2
✓ USA only.Don’t waste your time if you’re Canadian! Would’ve been awesome otherwise..Version: 3.0
✓ Getting paid takes about 2 weeks at the earliest!!It takes 2-10 days for them to receive the items, then it takes another 2-4 days for the “inspection” and then another day for the payment to be process to your account. So it’s not a fast or reliable way to get some extra money. It takes WEEKS not days to get paid..Version: 3.2
