How to get a better price for college books
- Add the author and edition. University courses often specify a particular edition, and buyers search for it by name.
- Add the ISBN, publisher and language when you have them. The listing form has fields for each, and they help buyers confirm the exact book.
- Mention the course or semester the book was used for.
- Be honest about condition, and photograph the cover and a few inside pages.
- Compare with similar listings on Bookaao, and remember the buyer pays delivery on top of your price.
- Enter the weight accurately. Large textbooks are heavy, and delivery is calculated from the weight you enter.

Fees and charges. Listing a book has no upfront fee. When a book sells, Bookaao currently charges a 5% platform fee on orders where you record a short packing video (from packing the book to handing the parcel to the delivery partner, up to 60 seconds). Without the video, the standard commission applies: 15% for books and 20% for modules. Delivery is paid by the buyer on top of your price and is not deducted from your payout; an extra ₹50 home pickup charge applies if a parcel ships through India Post. The complete, current rules are on the Seller Rules page.
