Guide to Acquiring Your Books for Less
How do I find textbooks at low prices?
There are over 37.6 million books available among dozens of bookstores and marketplaces. We suggest searching by ISBN, although you can also search by title, author, or keyword. After locating the book item you are interested in, you'll be presented with the lowest new, used, and book rental prices from the best competing online bookstores. Click on the "Buy It," "Rent It," or "Sell It" link next to the best deal you want and you will be transferred directly to that vendor. *We highly recommend that you keep track of your book transactions (i.e. bookstore name, order number, date, price, and such), as we do not know whether you've either bought, rented, or sold, a book or not after you've left our web site.
What is an ISBN and how is it used?
ISBN Example
Published books and book-like materials (i.e. audio book and ebooks) typically contain a unique 10 or 13 digit number, commonly referred to as an ISBN, that is assigned to each published book-like product. In an effort to assist with you finding the right book quickly, we suggest that you search by ISBN if you have it. Most professors list required textbooks and their associated ISBNs on their course syllabi.
Does StudentMarket.com sell book items?
In an effort to help you make an informed decision, we simply provide price comparison information from competing online bookstores.
Does StudentMarket.com guarantee 3rd party bookstore prices or its search results?
No, like most popular search engines used today, we do not. One of our goals is to show you accurate search results 100% of the time. However, mistakes happen and we don't sell nor buyback these book items. When pricing errors do occur, we rely on reports from customers to improve our search accuracy.

Guide to Selling Your Textbooks Back for More
How do I sell back my textbooks back for cash?
Enter the book's ISBN in the search box to retrieve book buyback prices from among several competing book buyback companies. Click on the "Sell It" link next to the listing and you will be transferred directly to that vendor. Prices listed vary by book condition. Many of the bookstores offering buyback prices provide a printable free prepaid shipping label to make the process easy and convenient. After the books arrive at the respective bookstore's designated location and they've been successfully processed, payment is made by the bookstore, typically by check, paypal, and in some cases, store credit. We highly recommend keeping tracking of where you sold your books, as we do not have access to this information.
Does StudentMarket.com buyback books or textbooks?
We simply provide price comparison information from several competing online book buyback companies to help you make an informed decision.

Order Status: Buying, Renting, or Buyback Payment
What is the status of my book order?
Please contact the bookstore or marketplace where you placed your order. We encourage you to keep track of your transaction, as we do not know know whether you've either bought or sold a book or not after you've left our web site.

If you forgot where you purchased your book, these tips are for you:

1. Search for a confirmation email from the bookstore.

2. Check with your credit card company for recent charges from bookstores.

3. Initiate a price comparison for this book and review the vendor results to jog your memory.
How do I return my books?
Please contact the bookstore or marketplace where you placed your order.
