App buggy and doesn’t work right

This app is so filled with bugs and doesn’t work correctly half the time. Either my cart gets randomly lost and I have to start over scanning my books or it doesn’t work at all and keeps prompting “Error. Something went wrong” and won’t scan any books at all, even with a forced restart of the app. Thank god it’s free… only reason it gets 1 star.

Scam

I’ve been selling books on eBay for four years now with over 700 sales. 100% custom satisfaction. Four weeks after receiving my books, still no payment. Three inquiries later no payment. Threaten to give a bad review. Partial payments. Claim to have not received every book. My record Stands for itself.

Didn't receive payment!!!

I never received payment for the books I sent them. They sent confirmation that my books were received. I even received an email stating that payment was being sent to my PayPal account. However, the payment was never deposited to my PayPal account!!! I've also sent three emails inquiring about this matter and received ZERO response.

App leaves much to be desired

The app seems to scan the bar codes most of the time, but trying to check out is a nightmare. It keeps saying there’s an error and you need to sign in again. Others complained about this issue a year ago and apparently the company either doesn’t read their reviews or they don’t care because it’s not fixed.

Scam Thieves

The scanner tells you how much you’ll get, then they send you half of what you’re quoted and tell you the books were damaged. They don’t send pictures of the books they aren’t paying you for, and they don’t send the books back. Don't waste your time on this app. They’ll take your books and run.

Not worth it

I was trying to sell some books to earn back some of the money I spent on them. I scanned on that was $17 and it was going to pay me 0.47 for the book?! The highest value I got was $2 for one of my books. They’re definitely selling these books for more and sellers are getting ripped off.

Scam

It won’t let you delete your account and the privacy policy “doesn’t exist anymore for this app”. Don’t know if it legitimately gives you money— they only take certain books for pennies on the dollar. They will only pay you out after $25 has been reached.

waste of time

They will only pay you 10-20 cents for most books, but won’t even let you checkout until you have over $7.50 in books. Unless you have dozens of books you’re selling, you can’t even checkout. Stupid and scammy.

Rip off

I gave three star because of the convenience but really the price they offer is like 1-10% of the worth of the current market price. Which was shocking to me.

I’m sorry but it is

I quit; too much trouble

I just spent waaay too much time scanning and entering ISBNs for low value books. The second time it dumped my completed shopping cart is the last time. I will look for another book service. Maybe I will check later in 2023 to see if the app improves. Good luck, folks.

Doesn’t work

Will not scan the barcodes. FAQ page is blank. If I enter ISBN manually it does give prices. Then when you try to set up PayPal as the payment option and proceed it just says an error has occurred and doesn’t say what error and nothing happens. Useless.

Selling Back Your Books

I just tried the app and had no problem thus far except the PayPal connection. I followed the instructions so not sure why that did not work. I’m waiting to see if I get a check but everything else so far has been on point and the scanner worked great.
