SellBackYourBook - Sell books and Sell Textbooks for Android
I don't like the fact that only give you pennies on the dollar for what the books are worth. I could sell one of my books for a quarter and still make more than sending them 3 of my books.
The app is poorly made and not very intuitive.
I keep getting a error message saying Temporary network problem. Please try again later. Has the possibility to be a great app but not when I have to keep entering the bar code for one book a dozen times to get their price they are willing to pay. If this problem would be fixed I will change the rating.
I was hoping this would make selling my stack of books faster. It only frustrated me. It constantly complained of network problems so I'm going to make an assumption that it only uses a mobile data connection. My WiFi works fine. The user interface is attrocious. A lot of work needed.
Kept saying that connectivity have been lost and there was a network error. My internet was fine. I am at home on my WiFi so there should be no problems. Looking at other reviews, it seems like other people had the same issue so it's not just me.
Denies every book. But it does recognize the usbn when manually entered..
I don't know if it's just my device (Samsung galaxy s5) but taking pictures of the barcodes was impossible. Everything is mirror image and orientation is also backwards.
Easier....but hadn't yryied yet
Sucks won't buy any books
The app and company are the best! The negative reviews are a mystery. I have used them for six years. Never one mistake..they pay higher than local stores or other national brand. Remember..demand drives value. Just because a book cost a lot new.. doesn't mean it's in demand. Try to sell near semester start dates for best value.
First time selling books online, figured I'd use this app because it said I can scan the QR code for faster searching. Yet whenever I tap the scan button it immediately crashes the app.
This app offered me $3 and some odd cents for a book I paid almost $300 for. I keep my books in near perfect condition and there is no way I'm settling for that low of a price when I can sell it for much more to another student.
Won't buy most books. I just went through my tiny collection of 50+ books to see what it would say and for the few it even recognized it said they aren't buying. Many of mine are older books so it didn't find them. Uninstalling. If they only want textbooks they should say so, and be warned: you'll get more selling it back to a used book store.
I was going to throw away my vet technology books away after 3 years of leaving school gave me good price for something that was jut collecting a dust.

Sold 3 books mailed them in like i was told and never got paid
Scanner doesn't work. Uninstalling.
I am in a thrift shop have scanned over 300 and they only accepted 3 so far.wish they accepted more
It's no market in this Co.
Sucks, every book number I entered said ' sorry we're not buying this book at this time' and I have over 50 titles. Piece of crap.

I love this site..and the app is very useful. It's my favorite book buyback buyer.
Very easy to use and they sent my money
Oh yeah looks up books and tells you they are with nothing or just cents on the dollar. I looked up 20+ books and only one was said to be worth .44¢
Hard back
Thank you
Made like 100 dollars on some old books that I was ready to throw out it was about 5 really old textbooks. That I could not sell at a store or anywhere else.
Don't waste your time. It's a crap! Most of the books don't have a price, and when they're interested only offer 1 dollar or less.
Offered me $70 for a college engineering book that I bought for $200. Serious crooks

It would be nice if you actually bought books
Definitely not worth even downloading
They offered me back 5 a peeve for some brand new nurse books

I haven't gotten shipping label or any corresponding email after i scanned my books and got price quote. Whats the deal? Other than that. I got decent prices on books. Some books Im surprise they wouldn't buy.
I've still got it
It works very well
They processed my order fast and easy. 100% easy to use.

The app isn't the issue, the company is. They find the smallest imperfection in the book and reject it in hopes u won't pay to ship it home so they can score a free book to sell. They are a scam.
