Never received money for books
January 28, 2025

I sold textbooks at the end of November and never received a check for them. I sent a message letting them know 5 days ago. I was supposed to receive a response within 48 hours and I've heard nothing from them.

This was my first time purchasing from a used book company. I had the first book of an eleven book series by Rebecca Ann Collins. I was happy to obtain several books from BooksRun to complete the series. The books were delivered about a week ahead of the listed delivery date. I was amazed by this as I was ordering during the Holiday Gift Rush period of December. I will purchase books through BooksRun in the future.
