Sell Textbooks For Cash Online: Don't Make These 3 Mistakes!

By Berry Clark


It is important to know who you are dealing with when you go to sell textbooks for cash online. You don't want to get stung when you ship your textbook off to a company and you never hear from them again. This happens a lot and hopefully with these three points, you won't have to deal with this.

The first thing you want to find out is what kind of reputation the textbook buyer has. I don't know how many times it happens where an innocent college student needs to get cash for their text that they spent a bunch of money on and need it to afford the next one or whatever their cash flow situation is for the time and don't get the cash. Don't go shipping off your book to a company unless they have a real street address and you can find reviews on the company or even a BBB review.

As you are on your quest to sell your books, ultimately you will want to get paid. There are buyers out there that still only offer checks in the mail. With the technology available today, they should be able to offer payment via Paypal. But if you want to wait forever for your cash, getting a check in the mail may be ok.

If time is not a factor to you and the company that will provide the most cash for your textbook only offers checks in the mail, remember to see what kind of reputation they have. Trust is a factor here and again it can't be stated enough for that matter. The more service a company provides the more information will be available on that company.

But, once the check is in the mail, it is out of the hands of the company. You will probably get your money eventually from the company that paid the check, but it typically is far later than the company that paid via Paypal. If you have never sold your textbooks online, which would you feel more comfortable with?

The third question you might have is that you want to be sure you will truly get your money. First off, part of that guarantee relies on the first two points. The final point is that the company has been around for a while.

These are guarantees that you can rely on. Any company that doesn't provide the customer service you look for when working with them is going to fail. But that is another story.

It is our goal to help you have a good experience when selling your textbook online. As good as an offer may sound, sometimes isn't always the best one. As long as you remember these guidelines, you will get your cash fast for your textbooks.
