Better World Books

You may be asking yourself why there is an article about books on a home improvement website. Well, if getting rid of all those books not only frees up space in your shelves, but makes you money too, wouldn’t you want to know about it?

Not only can you make some extra dough, you are also helping to save the planet. Consider visiting the Better World Books the next you move, when unpacking from a move, or at the end of the school year.

Below are some questions and answers about how you can turn those books into cash.

1. How does selling my books to you work?
Selling your books to Better World Books is easy. Just enter the ISBNs of the books you are interested in selling. The books will be added to your buyback cart and our buyback price will be shown. Adjust the quantities and choose how you want to be paid. If you choose PayPal, you’ll need to enter the e-mail address associated with your PayPal account.

Choose the literacy partner you want your buyback to benefit and decide if you would like to make an additional contribution to that partner’s literacy initiatives. You will also need to select your address. If you make any changes to your buyback cart, be sure to click ‘Update Cart’.

Click ‘Agree to BuyBack’ and print your pre-paid USPS Media Mail label and packing slip. Next, simply package your books and drop them in the mail. Once we receive your books in our warehouse, we’ll process them and issue payment.

2. Do you really make a donation to literacy when I sell my books to you?
Yes. Every time you sell your books to Better World Books, you are helping bring literacy and opportunity to people around the world. For each book we purchase, we’ll make a donation to one of our five primary literacy partners. We even let you choose which of our partners you want your buyback to benefit. You can make an additional donation by choosing to give part of your buyback total when you confirm your order.

Our five primary literacy partners are Invisible Children, Books for Africa, Room to Read, Worldfund, and the National Center for Family Literacy.

3. How will you pay me?
You have a few of options. We recommend choosing Gift Certificate or PayPal because you’ll get paid more and it’s fast, green, and secure. If you prefer not get paid with a Gift Certificate or through PayPal, we can do it the old fashion way and mail a check to you. It will just take longer and you won’t get paid as much. Don’t have PayPal? Visit PayPal to learn how to sign up.

4. When will I get paid?
We know there are a few books on BetterWorldBooks.com you are dying to have, so we’ll get you your money as fast as we can. All payments are normally processed within 2 business days of receiving your buyback.

5. How long is the price quote good for?
Price quotes are good for a limited time only. Books must be postmarked within 7 days and received within 30 days of your buyback order. If your package is postmarked more than 7 days or received more than 30 days after your order was placed we will re-evaluate the books based on current buyback prices. The new price quote may be different from your original offer.

6. How do you determine your buyback prices?
Our buyback prices are set based on current availability and future demand.

7. Who pays for shipping?
If your buyback total is at least five dollars or you choose to donate at least three books, shipping is free! We pay for shipping when you use the pre-paid USPS Media Mail label we provide at checkout. If you choose to use a different service or carrier, we cannot reimburse you for shipping. Please do not use Priority Mail envelopes or boxes when using our prepaid Media Mail label. This will help us keep our costs down which helps keep our buyback prices higher.
