This is a great and easy way to sell any books you do not want. The only reason I have not given it five stars is not because of the ease of selling the books but rather the relatively small percent... See more

Works beautifully in some situations
This can work beautifully in some instances, not in others. For me it was a toss up between using this service and putting about 30 books individually online. More than anything I wanted the space and I didn't have much energy, so this was absolutely ideal. I already had a big strong box, dropping at OnPost was simple and they paid me exactly what they promised too - incredibly simpleŵŵ. But you get so very little for each title against their own resale prices - not even a pound in most cases when many of my books were pretty much brand new. So if you have time, patience and energy to list your books yourself, you will likely make at least 10 times more. However, it did work for me on this occasion when I just needed shelf space quickly.

Honest company
Honest company. Followed my initial quote for selling my books exactly. Fast responses.
Getting paid for unwanted books.
Getting paid to remove unwanted books from my house is great. Unfortunately, I had 30 books this time, so I had to use two boxes to send them. There was only one FedEx Shipping Label, and you instructions say to print it up to 10 times. So, I put the label on both boxes. FedEx would not accept the same label on two boxes, as they would be unable to track them each. I had to buy a larger box and they put both my boxes inside to ship under 1 label. By the time it was all done, my almost $20 book sale netted me $4 for 30 books. That was an unfortunate learning experience that will not happen again. Other than that, book trade went well and my payment check arrived on schedule.
When my most expensive book is rejected…
When my most expensive book is rejected and it simply says moisture damage and you cannot return the book ( which I understand) I would like to have better clarification of it. A photo or two would be helpful.

Quick and Easy
Quick and easy. My check arrived in no time. I like how you can start listing the books you want to sell, save the list and then come back at a later time and add more or edit the list. Very convenient.
This was so easy
This was so easy! However, a bit too cheap for some titles. I can see at least $1.00 but .28 cents ....
Very good
Very good. I got the checks pretty quickly. It was clear how to sell them. I feel better that they will be reused. Some of the college books were good to get rid of
It was easy to sell
Nice
I love world of books, it’s a good way to get cheap books not at the library. They don’t pay you much for selling them but you don’t pay much to buy them either. Look for buy 3 get 1 free deals!!
Happy repeat customer
Happy repeat customer: Quick Shipping, secure packaging, book in great condition, good value.
I wish I’d read the reviews before…
I wish I’d read the reviews before trading with them. I sent in some books and also three tarot decks, all tarot decks as new. In fact, one of them I had only looked through but never actually used. When it came to payment, however, I received a total pittance. Turns out all three decks had been marked as not received. Thieving gits. I thought it would be nice for them to go to someone who might get a bit more use out of them. I wish I hadn’t bothered now. Never again.
