Tips for Sellers

Make your listing stand out and sell with confidence.

  • Add clear photos — Show the cover, pages, and any wear or damage.
  • Be honest about condition — Mention highlights, notes, or other imperfections.
  • Include the details — Add the title, author, edition, and ISBN.
  • Set a fair price — Check similar listings to find a competitive price.
  • Keep it updated — Remove your listing once your textbook is sold.
  • Communicate clearly — Respond to buyers and arrange exchanges safely.

Tips for Buyers

Find the textbooks you need while keeping your purchase safe.

  • Check the listing — Confirm the title, edition, ISBN, and condition before buying.
  • Meet in person — Complete transactions in public, well-trafficked locations such as Place Riel.
  • Inspect before you pay — Make sure the textbook matches the listing and is in the condition described.
  • Avoid sending money in advance — whenever possible, pay only after you’ve received and checked the textbook.
  • Watch for scams — Be cautious of deals that seem too good to be true or buyers/sellers who pressure you to pay quickly.
  • Trust your instincts — If something feels off, don’t complete the transaction.
