    Tips

    Customer Support Tip:
    Reporting a Missing Shipment

    By Aleksa
    When a buyer requests a refund for a returned book, we won’t credit their account until the bookseller confirms with us that they have received the returned book.

    10th Anniversary Campaign - BookmarkA big part of our anniversary marketing initiative is the new creative campaign that will be featured on all the advertising and promotional materials. You can see it for the first time here on these bookmarks (which you can order for free as part of our anniversary promotional packs). There are two bookmarks to choose from - just decide which is more appropriate for your business. The ads are meant to send a simple message about Abebooks’ unique, vast selection, and they are also meant to be entertaining to grab the customer’s attention. The posters in the promotional packs will feature 4 "Books", representing new, used, and antiquarian categories. There are six different "books" that will appear in our campaigns this summer, with many more to come! Our ads will begin hitting the UK, North American, Australian and New Zealand markets this May!
