School books families look for
School books are only used for one academic year, and families regularly look for used sets to save money. Books that sellers commonly list include:
- NCERT and CBSE textbooks for each class
- ICSE and state board textbooks and workbooks
- Reference books, guides and sample-paper books
- Complete class-wise sets
When you list, choose School Textbooks and then your board (CBSE, ICSE or State Boards) so buyers browsing that board can find your book.
How to get a better price for school books
- State the class, subject and board in the title, plus the edition or year.
- Check that the book matches the current syllabus. Boards revise textbooks from time to time, and buyers want the version their school uses.
- Many families look for school books ahead of a new academic session, which begins in April for most Indian boards.
- Sell the full class set together when you can; families like buying everything in one order.
- Compare with similar listings on Bookaao, and remember the buyer pays delivery on top.

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.
