Selling your Textbooks on PDX Books is Simple, Secure and Hassle Free

To get started just follow the 3 simple steps below:

Step 1 - Enter as much information as you can about your textbook
Step 2 - Select your textbook to list
Step 3 - Enter the sales price and the condition of your textbook

What happens when my textbook is purchased?

Step 1 - Confirm your sale when your textbook is purchased : You will receive an email for every sale you make. When you receive this email, you have 2 days to confirm if you still wish to sell your item. You can confirm the order by clicking on the confirmation link from the purchase notification email you receive.
Step 2 - Ship your textbook to the buyer : Once the buyer submits payment for your order you will receive a payment notification email containing the shipping address of the purchaser. Enter your shipping method and online shipment tracking number after clicking (or typing in) the URL contained in your payment notification email.
Step 3 - Get paid for your textbook : When your online shipment tracking number shows delivered to the buyer, our system will update the status and allow the buyer 48 hours to report and problems with the delivery or condition of the book. Within 72 hours of successful delivery, you will be paid for your textbook sale.

How do I get paid?

Your money will be sent using PayPal™. If you don't already have a PayPal™ account, It's an easy signup process and your money will be immediately available for you after signup.

How much does this cost?

A listing commission will be deducted from your payment after your book is delivered to the buyer. The amount of the listing commission will be determined by your user rating and the following scale:

0+ » 10%
10+ » 8%
20+ » 5%
40+ » 0%

Every book you buy and sell on PDX Books earns you points that will reduce your commission over time. The reason for this is simple. The more textbooks you successfully buy and sell, the less likely we are to incur costs associated with cancellations and returns.

IMPORTANT: When creating a PayPal™ account or a PDX Books account, be sure to use the same email address. PayPal™ payment will be made only to the email address associated with your PDX Books account.
