The Problem with Trade-In Sites
Trade-in services are convenient, but they're not designed to give you the best deal
Trade-In Sites
- The buyer sets the offer
- Take-it-or-leave-it pricing
- Some ISBNs are not accepted
- Condition checks can change a quote
- You give up control for convenience
- Terms and payment times vary by service
UniBookTrade
- Set your own asking price
- Sell directly to students who need your books
- No listing fee or seller commission
- Use a prepaid tracked shipping label
- Payment is secured before you ship
- Payout releases after confirmed delivery
