Fake Reviews

I saw this on TikTok and I wanted to use it so that I could get rid of some of my very gently used books and they’re offering me $.28-$.30 per book to sell to them so don’t always go by the reviews or what we see on TikTok

They kept my excellent condition books and didn’t paid me!

This is the first time and last time I used this app. I sent my 3 books Harry Potter collection Illustrated version. They come in a very sturdy box case. In excellent condition never read it. They offered me in the app $36.00. I sent them with other books that I sold them for cents. But I was satisfied of selling my collection to a fair price because they were like new. Yesterday, I received the email saying the they were rejected because of “excessive damage” and they will be recycled. I sent an email requesting to return them to me if they won’t pay what they agreed in the beginning and the customer agent said that they reserve the right to reject items because they become owners when they receive them. So in other words: they can reject your items even if they are in excellent condition and won’t return them to you and won’t pay you either! What a scam!

ITS A SCAMMM, I want my money 😡 cmon now

This is a total scam, which seems weird considering other reviews. But for me, I sent the books with no issue, using the label they provided to me. Then, after maybe 2 weeks it said payment was sent. I saw nothing on my bank account, but waited for a few days before contacting support. They said ‘the payment was sent’, and to let them know if in a few days it still wasn’t showing up. It didn’t, and a little over a week after the payment was allegedly sent I still didn’t get it. I let them know, and all they said is they apologize for the delay, and have looked into the issue, and that they found that the payment was sent, no other resolution or help has been offered. Disappointed and upset, are yalls for real?! But whatever, I guess this type of stuff happens sometimes.

Great trader

I’ve done one complete trade so far and it went smoothly. It just took a little while for the books to reach their facility, but everything was as they said and I got the quoted trade price quickly.

Pennies on the dollar

Understand that most books don’t really hold a value but I submitted over 25 books and only one was over a dollar offer.

Fair prices, great process

I have used Ziffit and the app for a year and very happy. They are picky and prices are low but that is 100% consistent with all other book buyers.

Was having issues with the app, as of summer 2026, either the app is behaving better, or I am.

No mass deletion options

Every item you scan that they do not want to purchase is added to a shelf for some reason. On the app, there is no checkbox or option to mass delete the items in this apparently useless section of their app. This causes the user to be forced to individually delete every unwanted item, wasting valuable time and money. In my opinion, with the low amounts offered by this company, i believe they should at least try to streamline the user experience.

Great Opportunities

I love the opportunity to sell books in which I have had the pleasure of reading. I often use these funds for new books on my reading lists. Try it, you will like it!

Beware scammers

I sent my perfect condition textbooks in a box and drop at the authorized mail carrier and they scan the barcode from my phone and then my package goes on. Well they got my package and said that it didn’t pass quality inspection cause my books were damage or fake and that they don’t have to provide me with photos or explain exactly why it was rejected. Also, they will bring up that I agree to that and they “recycle” their books. Mind you it was $8?!?! So I’m out of the textbooks and out of the money. If you read the other reviews down, it will say the same thing because they are scammers. I even have pictures of all my books because I knew they were fishy.

Easy to sell books

This app makes it easy to sell books!

Cheaper to Keep Her

I have walls of books, all in new condition. Being now in a small one room apt they are in piles everywhere. My bookcase was too heavy to move with me so I gave it away. I thought this app would be a great way to sell all my books! Unfortunately they only pay .07- .23 cents for them! Now worth it and would be better off donating or selling at a yardsale or via Facebook Marketplace.

Handy

Handy to get rid of books but something they deny heavy sales after I already shipped it making me loose my products.

Easiest selling platform by far!

The app is so user friendly, great price for books, and speedy service! I’ve recommended to all my family! <3

NO PAYMENT!

I sent in my first box June 29. Was “issued” payment July 8 but it didn’t show up in my account. Multiple emails back and forth confirming my PayPal account info. It’s Aug 18 and I STILL DON’T HAVE MY PAYMENT!

Awesome!

This app and company are awesome! I have been sending them hundreds of books to raise funds and they are so easy to use, they are quick, and efficient. Awesome experience everytime!!

Clearing out the house

I went through my old DVDs, scanned them and checked out. The process is so easy!

Not Good

They are definitely not reliable; they don't do what they say. I sent a product worth $39, and they only sent me $0.90—and they didn't even actually send that.

Great Company

Awesome company to work with I highly recommend them.

My personal review

I wish the books would sell for higher prices, you list them under 1 dollar which is multiple dollars less than they are worth.

Wow quick and easy

took less than an hour
