What can and can't I sell on Reshelf?

Updated 23 October 2026 · For everyone

Reshelf is for real, second-hand books you own. List them honestly, with your own photos and a fair price, and keep every sale on Reshelf.

What can I sell?

Physical books you own and have the right to sell, in the condition you describe.

What isn't allowed?

  • Counterfeit, pirated or photocopied books, and anything illegal.

  • Things that aren't books on their own, such as stationery, toys or digital files.

  • Content that's obscene, hateful or encourages violence or crime.

  • Prices far above a book's real value, or buying books to resell at inflated prices.

  • Textbooks that are no longer used for current exams.

How should I list?

  • Use your own photos of the actual copy, never images from other shops, websites or publishers.

  • Answer the condition questions honestly and photograph every flaw.

  • Don't put social media, phone numbers or other contact details in your photos. Your Reshelf store name is fine.

  • List a set as a set, with quantity 1.

Keep every sale on Reshelf

Don't arrange payment or meet-ups outside Reshelf. Sales outside the platform aren't protected, and accounts that do this can be suspended.

Be a good seller

Accept or decline orders promptly, ship on time, and don't cancel orders you've accepted. Repeated cancellations can lead to a suspension.

What happens if a listing breaks the rules?

Our reviewers reject it with a reason you can fix, or remove it. Serious or repeated problems can lead to a suspended store. See Why was my store suspended?.
