Fraudulent sellers and no backup when it goes wrong

Reviewed on 2021-05-14T22:50:03

Copy and pasted replies when things go wrong. Ordered a book from Bahamut Media UK that never arrivedand when contacting the seller you just get the same generic email template response back every time. Abebooks themselves have no interest in genuine customer service or clearly preventing fraudulent sellers. Look at all these other reviews - many mention the same seller!

Best online book store

Reviewed on 2021-05-11T06:23:22

They always have the books you need. They also always offer international edition textbooks also,which are much cheaper compared to the regular version. Best prices, fast shipping. My go to website for textbooks, hands down. As a student, they have saved me hundreds if not thousands over the years. 10/10 recommend.

I needed access to a rare book for…

Reviewed on 2021-05-04T10:26:45

I needed access to a rare book for research purposes and because of COVID, couldn’t go to my usual libraries in the U.K.I decided to see if I could buy one, as it would be something I would like to own, and came across Abe Books in my online searches. The website said they could supply. I didn’t realise Abe Books was a ‘platform’ site and that my order would go through other booksellers. However, I’m pleased to say that the book arrived today and is exactly as described. I have been kept informed of my book’s journey from the US to the U.K. via the tracking system. So, on this basis, I give a 5* rating to Abe Books as I’ve not encountered any problems.

Fraudulent sellers abetted by ABE 'policy'

Reviewed on 2021-04-23T17:16:49

Like others here, I placed an order with Ergodebooks though ABE. I should have checked Trustpilot first,because this company appears to list everything they sell as 'new' without regard to actual condition, charging premium prices for books that would be worth the money if actually as advertised. The book I received as 'new' had a tattered dust jacket, and as other reviewers here have noted, Ergodebooks offered nothing but a partial refund. ABE is abetting this behavior by ignoring complaints and insisting on defrauded purchasers returning misrepresented purchases for refunds that other Trustpilot reviewers claim never to have received. Ergodebooks are fraudsters, and ABE is making it possible for them to do it. I won't deal with either of them again.

Bahamut Media is unreliable

Reviewed on 2021-04-20T07:13:53

Ordered a book at Bahamut Media (697766254) on Abebooks.co.uk. They confirmed the order and took my money.The next day Bahamut Media cancelled the order saying it was an error. Be careful, Bahamut Media is an unreliable seller.

Not a company I will ever do business with, again.

Reviewed on 2021-04-11T21:20:04

I recently ordered a book and waited very patiently for it to arrived. It did not get delivered.I was told by AbeBooks that after 30 days they no longer have responsibility. Since my patience extended beyond 30 days I have missed the deadline. I have been told to pursue the matter with the distributor of the book. I am out of pocket and shall never go near AbeBooks again.

The WORST online book seller ever is AbeBooks :((

Reviewed on 2021-04-10T07:53:00

EASILY get a refund for your unsatisfactory order by filing a DISPUTE with your CREDIT CARD COMPANY!I got my FULL refund fast!! I got the wrong book delivered and got EXTREMELY POOR customer service after sending AbeBooks 5 emails. They never gave me a return authorization number to return the book. In frustration, I called and filed a dispute with my credit card company - they will intervene directly with AbeBooks and reverse the charge back to you!! Do it and get fair treatment.
