A: If for some reason your e-mail address or phone number has changed, you may change it by logging in and visiting the My Account page. Here, you can change your contact information, billing information, or your account password.

13. How much should I charge for my textbooks?
A: Based on the condition of the book, a seller can usually get between 60 and 75 percent of the original purchase price. Obviously, if the book is in very poor condition, you should charge less. Remember, you must make the price reasonable so that the buyer will want to purchase it. The reason this site was created is so that the seller can get more for the book than if he/she were to sell it back to a bookstore, and so that the buyer can pay less for the book than if he/she were to buy it from a bookstore.

14. Where should I meet prospective buyers / sellers?
A: Always meet in a public place. For example, in front of One Pace Plaza.We also recommend meeting up during daylight hours.

15. I've sent several emails to the seller but I have not heard back yet. What should I do?
A: Sometimes students are rude and don't return calls and emails after they've sold their books. Your best bet is to move on to another listing or try and get your book elsewhere. Remember, when you list a book, it is listed until you notify us that it has been sold. Removing your listings takes seconds to do on your listings page.

16. If I call someone about a book and we agree to meet, am I obligated to buy the book from them?
A: No. The buyer may back out of the transaction for any reason. If the book is in worse condition than noted on the listing, or if it is no longer needed because of a change of schedule (or any other reason for that matter) buyers have every right not to give the money to the seller, thus voiding the transaction.
