6.  I have multiple books of the same title.  How many of my books will you purchase?

We have a quantity limit of two books per title per household.  Please do not submit multiple orders in an attempt to sell us back more than 2 books per title per customer.

7.  I selected payment by check when I sold my textbook.  How quickly will the check arrive after it is mailed?

After your buyback order has been updated to Complete, the check should arrive in 5-10 business days.  All checks are mailed through the United States Postal Service.

8.  I am having trouble logging into my Mybookcart Seller Account.  How do I log in to check the status of my buyback?

At Mybookcart, you have a separate Seller Account.  To create  a Mybookcart seller account, or to log into your existing Mybookcart seller account, use this link:  Mybookcart.com/sell/login

9.  My shipping label isn’t loading, and I can’t print my pre-paid label to ship my books.

If your shipping label isn’t loading correctly, this is most likely due to your address not being recognized by the USPS or UPS.  A correct and complete address must be used to download the pre-paid shipping label.  You can either email us at [email protected] so we can update your address for your buyback order, or you will need to resubmit a new buyback order using a correct address.

10.  Can I drop-ship a buyback from another company to Mybookcart.com and not use the pre-paid shipping label?

No, Mybookcart will not accept a buyback order if it is drop-shipped from another company.  All buyback orders must use the original pre-paid shipping label provided during checkout to qualify for purchase.

11.  What happens if I accidentally mail in the wrong book for my buyback?

If an incorrect book is mailed in, Mybookcart will process the book with an adjusted buyback offer based on Mybookcart’s current offer rate.  Incorrect books will not be returned.  Please double check your buyback order to ensure you mail in the correct books.

12.  What about textbooks that have an anti-counterfeiting QR code?

All textbooks that are published with an anti-counterfeiting QR code will need to have the authenticity sticker on the cover to qualify for purchase.
