It's a good way to clear some space on your bookshelves and make a little money. Easy to send with free postage. Amount that is given for books is not brilliant, even for recent publications so you do have to sell a lot to make any decent profit. I sold 15 books and got about £8 .

Hello Jane,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We're pleased to hear that you found our service easy to use and that the free postage made the process convenient.
We're sorry that you were disappointed with the valuations you received. Our prices are based on a range of factors, including current supply and demand in the second-hand book market, which means values can fluctuate over time, even for more recent publications.
We appreciate your feedback and hope we'll have the opportunity to buy from you again in the future.
Best regards,
WeBuyBooks
Cash better than nothing.
Having decided to dispose of some books, I used WeBuyBooks to see if they were worth selling rather than just throwing them away. I suppose that the valuation was less than I thought it would be but at least I got some value out of selling them. Process was straight forward. Money came quite quickly.

It was straightforward to scan ISBN bar codes on the app - more difficult for older books where you had the enter as a number. Sad that so many books weren't wanted. However, the process was straightforward and the books saved from recycling as waste. Claiming a bonus was not obvious, as the code was sent by email rather tan being available on the App,

Recommended - Straightforward process
Straightforward process, easy to post - quick payment. Great if you have a large volume of books you want to sell.. or even nominate a charity to receive the funds. Easy and convenient but don't expect a retail price for your second hand books or that they will want all titles.

WeBuyBooks review…
App is very easy to use and overall very good at scanning barcodes. The efficient process makes selling books that much easier. Occasionally, some books barcodes are harder to scan than others.

patient selective scanning yields reasonable offers.
recently the offer price of a number of books has made trading worthwhile.
The free Evri return service seems very effective.
the time taken to examine, inform of the result, and credit payment to a personal account has been reduced.
A bit more guidance of types of book required would save time. A pictorial guide of what blemishes would rule a book out, would help.
