Maybe you’re tired of dusting those books on your shelves. Or John Steinbeck doesn’t appeal to you as much as he once did. You have college textbooks from classes not related to your major. The Complete Works of Chaucer is even more confusing now than it was when you read it two years ago.
Whatever the reason, you want to get rid of some extra books. Recouping your investment, rather than keeping them around for that yard sale you have always been planning but never seem to have the time or energy to run, really appeals to you.
Did you know that you could sell your books online? Not only can you sell them online, you can see how much the bookstore that wants to buy them will offer you — right now! And they’ll foot the bill for shipping the books to them? And you can be paid for the books by check or PayPal? You’ll even get a bonus for using PayPal.
Cash4Books.net is my favorite stop when I want to unload books I no longer need. Their system is as user friendly as it gets. They buy a wide variety of books but specialize in textbooks, non-fiction, business, and professional / technical books. The amount Cash4Books.net offers can change from day to day based upon demand, current inventory, resale value, and other factors.
1. Input the ISBN(s) from your book into the form on their home page.
The ISBN is the 10- or 13-digit number on the back cover, inside the front cover or on the back of the title page of the book.
After using the form to put in the ISBN(s), you will see information about the book(s) you want to sell. You will see the amount Cash4Books.net is willing to pay you as well as the number of copies of the book they will purchase from you, should you have multiple copies. You may also see that some of your books are not ones that are currently being purchased by Cash4Books.net.
Once you look at your Seller’s Cart, you will be able to see only the books that Cash4Books.net will buy. You will see what Cash4Books.net is willing to pay for each book as well as the total amount for all the books you want to sell at this time. This is the last point you have to remove any books you decide you don’t want to sell. You might decide that the amount of money offered is not enough or perhaps you decide the book is one you want to keep after all. Just remove that book before you proceed to Checkout.
2. Create an account when you accept the offer.
When you go to Checkout, you will be prompted to create an account if you do not already have one. You will be asked your payment preference (paper check sent by mail or PayPal), your PayPal account email, your phone, your email, and your mailing address. You will receive a 3% bonus if you elect to receive payment via PayPal.
The Terms and Conditions will be visible and you have to agree to them before you can sell your books. Cash4Books.net will only accept books in the following conditions: no tears to the cover or pages, no major wear to the binding, no missing or loose pages, no water, moisture damage, mold or stains, no fire or smoke damage, and no strong odor of any kind (including cigarette odor). There are other conditions that have to be met which will also be stated in the Terms and Conditions.
3. Ship your book(s) to Cash4Books.net.
After you accept the total offer, you will be prompted to print a shipping label and packing list. You will be asked how many boxes you will use to ship your books. You will be able to print the correct number of shipping labels and packing lists for the number of boxes you indicate.
Your packing slip will contain the information needed for Cash4Books.net to process your order when it arrives. It will also indicate which box of the total number of boxes you said you will use to ship your books. A packing slip needs to be included with every box of books you ship. Likewise, a shipping label needs to be affixed to the outside of each box you send.
The two shipping methods used by Cash4Books.net are the US Postal Service (regular mail) and FedEx. Packages shipped using the mail need to be less than 13oz to be placed in the regular blue mailboxes you see around town. Packages heavier than 13oz need to be handed to a USPS window clerk at any post office.
You will receive an email reminder to ship your books at the time that you accept an offer. You must ship your books within seven business days of placing the order. If you mail your books after the 7-day period, your order may be cancelled, and a new order with current prices will need to be created.
4. Get paid.
Now all you need to do is sit back and wait to be paid. If you elected to be paid through PayPal, you’ll receive payment in as little as three business days after all your packages for an order are received. A paper check in the mail takes approximately seven to ten business days after all your packages for an order are received.
You are able to log back into your Cash4Books.net account at any time. You will be able to see the Order ID, Order Status, and Order Date.
Once you see how easy it is to sell your books for cash online, Cash4Books.net will be your first stop. They’ve made their system very user-friendly and will send your payment in as little as three business day after your books are received. All you need to do is enter the ISBNs, box your books, affix a shipping label, ship your boxes of books, and wait for your payment.
