We have officially launched our textbook buyback service for the United Kingdom which is a way for students to instantly sell their textbooks online in the same way that they buy books.

Students simply enter the ISBNs of any books they wish to sell on AbeBooks.co.uk’s buy-back page and they are instantly offered a competitive buy-back price. When the student accepts the offered price they open an account, complete their contact information, print the pre-paid postage label and packing list, and post the book(s) via the Royal Mail. A confirmation number is then issued and a cheque or online money transfer is sent to the student when the book(s) arrive.

Online textbook buyback has been running successfully in the US for some time, and we are quite excited to now have the option available for students in Britain.
