Proof of Ownership Policy

BookDeal reserves the right to ask sellers on our marketplace to require proof of purchase for any order(s) our Buyers may deem to be potentially fraudulent. This includes, and is not limited to, creating multiple orders of the same ISBN(s). This will include new and used copies of textbooks. Selling several different high value new textbooks and selling a very high dollar amount of books in a short period of time.

Once a Buyer deems to flag your deal as being potentially fraudulent, BookDeal reserves the right to withhold payment, or charge back for a delivered payment until the required steps have been taken on your end.

BookDeal will request that the seller provide the following:

  • a) invoice with the ISBN(s) and quantities details
  • b) the name or organization of the person selling the textbooks
  • c) A photo ID of the seller with all personal information blurred out except for name and photo.

Failure to provide the required materials in any instance and noncompliance will result in immediate termination of your account on BookDeal and any future accounts that you decide to open with us.
The final step will be you sending us return shipping labels to have your textbooks returned to you. If you do not provide these return labels within 5 business days, then your textbooks will be destroyed.
