It’s nice to have an option to sell directly to a business in bulk, rather than the slower process of C2C. Shipping the books was very easy and they handled the transaction in a timely manner. I wish... See more
The experience was great. I liked turning my used books into cash. I would have given 5 stars if more of my books would have actually been purchased and those that did I'd have gotten more than a quar... See more
It was easy to scan the books and see the prices. After confirming and agreeing to sell, receiving an email with the mailing label was convenient. I opted for a check to be sent to me instead of a dir... See more

Quick and easy.
A simple easy process to sell those books you no longer want. Choice of dropping off or Home collection, fast payout. Nothing to dislike!

A useful and easy way to clear unwanted books
Before you start, be aware that not all books will be accepted for sale - but a useful feature is that they are stored on a 'shelf' and may pop up from time to time so you can add them to your basket. Many books are only worth about 10p or so, and even those they say are 'in demand' may not necessarily be worth much more (but every now and then you will be offered several pounds for an item). Also be aware that some books may be rejected on arrival as being 'damaged', so make sure you only send top-quality items. Finally, you can either choose to take your parcel to an in-post locker or have DPD collect the books - this last option is a bonus, I feel, and saves lugging heavy parcels about!

Easy to use, v useful
This is very easy to use, it's great to be able to pass books on in batches of 10 for future use by others, and receive a little bit of cash for them.

Such a great service
I’ve used World of Books to sell my books so many times now. They are consistently good to deal with, cover the postage, and pay out really fast. Makes clearing out old books super easy!

The process to sell my books and dvds was straight forward and easy. The DPD collection meant I could safely send the products without worry.
Payment was made in a couple of weeks once all items had been reviewed.
I will be coming back in the future to do it again!
