Common concerns

Your questions answered honestly

We know trust matters. Here's exactly how the platform protects you as a seller.

"What if the buyer claims they didn't receive it?"

All transactions are tracked. If there’s a dispute, our support team investigates and mediates. Sellers are protected from false claims — documentation and delivery confirmation are built into the process so you can sell textbooks online with confidence.

"When exactly do I get paid?"

Payment is released as soon as the buyer confirms delivery of the correct book. You’ll see it in your dashboard balance immediately and can withdraw to your bank account at any time.

"Is it safe to deal with strangers online?"

All buyers are registered users. No money exchanges hands outside the platform — payments go through our secure system, so you never have to share personal banking details when you sell textbooks online.

"What if my book doesn't sell quickly?"

There’s no time pressure — listings stay active until the book sells or you remove it. You can also update your price at any time from your dashboard to attract more buyers. Selling textbooks online on Easy Textbooks gives you complete flexibility.

How much will I earn for my textbook? / What are your charges?

You set your own price, and we’ll show you exactly what you’ll earn before you list. When your book sells, a small fulfilment fee and commission are applied to cover secure payments and delivery. You can adjust your price anytime until you’re happy with your payout.
