Short answer: Bookaao (bookaao.com) is an Indian online marketplace where students and readers buy new and second-hand books, rent books, and sell their own books, with delivery across India. Most listings are exam preparation books (JEE, NEET, UPSC, CAT, CUET), coaching modules, and school and college textbooks.
What you can do on Bookaao
- Buy second-hand books: listings come from individual sellers, with the seller's own photos and condition notes.
- Buy new books: new titles are listed alongside used copies.
- Rent books: selected books can be rented for a short period instead of bought.
- Sell your old books: list a book with its price, photos and packed weight, and a courier collects it when it sells.
How buying works
- Search for the book or open an exam or category page.
- Check the photos, edition and condition notes, and chat with the seller if anything is unclear.
- Add the book to your cart and pay at checkout. The delivery charge is shown before you pay.
- The seller ships the book through a courier, and you can track the order from your account.
Most orders arrive within 3-5 working days after the seller ships. Delivery charges depend on the packed weight and your PIN code.
How selling works
Sellers register, list each book and add a pickup address. When a book sells, a courier collects it. Bookaao charges a flat platform fee of 15% of the listed book price, and the seller is paid after the order is delivered. The buyer pays the delivery charge. The seller terms page has the current details.
Returns and refunds
If a book arrives damaged, defective or is not the book you ordered, you can ask for a return or refund from your account. The exact time limit and steps are on the Bookaao Refund Policy page, which is the final word. Approved refunds are returned to the original payment method.
Who it is for
Students preparing for entrance exams, school and college students who need textbooks for a session, and anyone who wants to pass on books they no longer need. Buying second-hand is usually cheaper than new, but check the edition before you order, especially for exam books that change every year.
