I have tried three online companies to sell books. Textbook Maniac is the FIRST to follow through. They paid me what they promised and they were timely with my check. Very professional -- highly recommend. I won't ever use another !

Thank you for your kind review, Tammy! You were a pleasure to do business with, as well!

I had bought a book for one class for school and never used it. Textbook Maniac offered the most for my book, so I decided to give it a try. I asked to receive my money through Paypal. It took a little bit to hear back from them, but I'm assuming COVID's impact on snail mail is to blame. One thing I would recommend for first time customers is to be sure that you can package and ship the book within 48 hours. The minute that you place your order online, the clock will start ticking down. I was able to ship it within the same day and had no problems! I'll definitely be using this company again and recommending it to others.

I’d give zero stars if possible. This company is a scam. They claim they sent an email saying they couldn’t accept my book and they didn’t.they claimed to not accept international versions yet the picture of the book was the same book. They are very rude when trying to solve the problem. I filed a claim with the BBB. Edit: They replied to my review here. They did not help me resolve my issue after I filed a claim with the BBB. They claimed they sent and email, I don’t have proof of neither do they. They sis ether couldn’t do anything more for me since they disposed of my book. I don’t know what disposed of means, but they wait 5 days then dispose of your book if you don’t respond.

Notice: We respect our customers and will gladly work with you to resolve any issues you might have. That said, unfortunately, we no longer respond to issues created on TrustPilot. This is not a dismissal of your issue. Why have we chosen to do this? TrustPilot is dependent upon an unethical scheme to trap businesses into paying them money. Generally speaking, mostly upset customers will seek out a platform like TrustPilot. This then leads to overwhelmingly negative reviews for a particular website. TrustPilot then calls the business and requests to be paid for “help” to increase their TrustPilot score. What this means is that most businesses with high TrustPilot scores have probably paid TrustPilot to solicit reviews. We believe that this is unethical on both ends. The initial low score is a misleading trap that forces business to pay to get out of it. The businesses that do pay are then buying positive reviews. We serve tens of thousands of customers per year, and we believe the small number of reviews on TrustPilot are not representative of the experiences of the vast majority of our customers. Unfortunately, we are not willing to pay the troll in order to make our TrustPilot score reflect that. I have a real issue: how can I get it resolved? Our hope is that you will first contact us through our website. We have a customer service team that will do their best to resolve the issue for you. If you are still unsatisfied, and would prefer third-party dispute resolution, we would suggest using the Better Business Bureau. They take a far more fair and ethical approach to dispute mediation when compared to schemes like TrustPilot.

Textbook Maniac is the best place where to sell your books. Very good prices, efficient process, on-time payments. 2 days after they received the book shipment (free!), I got the payments on Paypal. Nice job.

I like this company! Sold 3-4 books to them over the past few weeks. They are prompt in processing payment. Great communication!

Thank you! You've been great to work with as well!

Man I love this company for selling books back to. I've sold to them twice over the past 2 years (a total of 3 textbooks) and they've always paid promptly and in full, which was great because 2 of them were kind of obscure and hard to sell on my campus. Really satisfied and I will definitely be back again!

Mel, We appreciate your review & hope to do more business with you in the future!

I am not sure why there are so many bad reviews... people are probably getting paid less due to the condition of their books. I gave Textbook Maniac one textbook and a textbook code (both in great condition) and they paid me what was promised fully in less than two weeks. They responded to my emails quickly too, always in less than 24 hours!! I would recommend them.

Jessica, thank you for the recommendation. People don't usually take time out of their day to leave positive reviews. We appreciate your business!
