Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions? We've gathered the most common queries from buyers and sellers to help you navigate our platform smoothly.

How do I buy a second-hand book?

Browse or search for a book, click on it to view details, and tap 'Buy Now'. You'll be asked to confirm your address and choose a payment method before placing your order.

Are the books quality-checked before listing?

Each seller rates their book's condition as Like New, Good, or Used. We encourage honest listings, and buyers can report any mismatch after receiving the book.

How do I pay for a book?

We accept UPI, debit/credit cards, net banking, and cash on delivery (where available). All online payments are secured via industry-standard encryption.

How long does delivery take?

Delivery typically takes 3–7 business days depending on your location and the seller's city. You'll receive tracking details once the order is shipped.

Can I return a book if it doesn't match the description?

Yes. If the book's condition significantly differs from what was listed, you can raise a return request within 3 days of delivery. We'll mediate and arrange a refund if valid.

How do I sell my old books?

Create a seller account, tap 'List a Book', fill in the title, author, condition, price, and photos — your listing goes live instantly for buyers to discover.

Is there a fee for listing books?

Listing is free. We charge a small platform fee (5%) only when a book is successfully sold, so you pay nothing upfront.

What if a seller doesn't ship the book?

If an order isn't shipped within the stated time, you can cancel it for a full refund. Repeat offenders are removed from the platform.
