How to get a better price for UPSC books
- Static subject books usually keep their relevance longer than current-affairs compilations, which age quickly. If you list current-affairs material, put the month and year in the title.
- Name the optional subject for optional-subject books, so the right aspirants find them.
- Note the edition or year and the author, and add the ISBN and publisher when you have them.
- Be honest about highlighting and notes in the margins. Photograph a few inside pages.
- Compare with similar UPSC 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.

Frequently asked questions
Can I sell UPSC current-affairs magazines and annuals?
You can list them, but mention the month and year. Buyers generally prefer the latest material, so current-affairs compilations tend to have a shorter shelf life than static subject books.
Can I sell optional-subject books?
Yes. State the optional subject, the author and the edition so aspirants preparing that subject can find your book.
How should I price my UPSC books?
You set the price. Compare with similar UPSC listings in the second hand and new book sections, and remember the buyer pays delivery on top of your price.
Is pickup available from my home?
You add a pickup address when you list, and Bookaao arranges courier pickup. You pack the book and hand it to the courier. If a parcel ships through India Post, a home pickup charge applies as described in the Seller Rules.
