Buyers
How can I trust a seller?
You don't need to! If
the seller is lazy, has changed their
email, or is dead, and they don't confirm
their agreement to deliver within 5 days
of your purchase, you get all of your
money back and that seller is deleted
along with all of their books.
Why are these books
so cheap? What's the catch?
Books on PimpMyBook.com are
so cheap because they are trying to be
sold by college students who just want
to get rid of their old books that they
don't need anymore. In addition,
PimpMyBook as a "competition
program" the alerts the seller
when someone has posted the same book
for less money. This creates
competition among sellers in order to
keep prices down!
