I Was Robbed By!!!!

On August 22nd 2007, I submitted 2 used textbooks to sellbackbooks.com and was quoted a buyback price. I printed out buyback forms and mailed the 2 textbooks to sellbackbooks.com in Lexington, KY. I used the prepaid shipping label provided on sellbackbooks' website. To assure that the package arrived, I purchased USPS delivery confirmation service. About 2 weeks later, I checked on my sellbackbooks.com to see if the books had arrived at the company. The order stated that it was submitted in the system. So, I then tracked the USPS del confirmation at www.usps.com. It stated that the books had arrived at sellbackbooks.com on August 27th at 10:10 a.m. Of course I realized that the company had the books for almost 2 weeks. So, I went back on the website and emailed customer service under the "contact us" form. Sadly, I never received a reply. The next time I went on the website to check payment status, the website was unavailable. So, I conducted a search for sellbackbooks.com website problems. After this search, I found several sites where consumers posted negative feedback about sellbackbooks.com. One comment stated that the sellbackbooks.com website was shut down. Then I panicked. I could not find a company number for sellbackbooks.com. After a couple days, I checked the site again and it was back up. But, to my surprise, no explanation of why the site was down. Anyway, I emailed the company 2 more times and still no response. I just want the $20.00 payment for the 2 textbooks or the 2 textbooks returned to me.

F.Y.I----www.sellbackbooks.com is owned by Ecampus.com. The company is in Kentucky, so it is not too surprising of the service and treatment consumers are receiving. CAN ANYONE AT Ecampus/ sellbackbooks.com even open or read email???

They're a ripoff. Same thing happened to me awhile back. Nothing you can do...

YOU ARE RIGHT, THEY ARE CROOKS!!!!

What you can do is this:
Place several new orders and get their free shipping labels.
Then send them BRICKS instead of books.
They'll pay a ton in shipping and get nothing.
Serves them right!!!!

Is there any way we can call them or all we have is the ECAMPUS 1800 Number? Something has to be done to stop this. EMAIL THEM AND TELL THEM ABOUT THE ILLEGITIMACY OF THE TRANSACTION...They advertise sooo much! THIS IS NOT RIGHT!!!

Sellbackbooks is a rip off it's bad enough that students pay a mint on backs but when they try and get a little back these scam artist rob us blind.

sorry I meant books..I'm so angry that I was ripped off

the same exact thing happened to me. Try contacting better buisness bureau. See what happens. They need to be stopped one way or another.

I am very p****d i lost 52.00 dollars !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Guess I got stuck too! Worst yet it was 4 years of books...about 175.50 worth of books. The bricks idea is a great idea! I might give it a try!

Me too!!! :(

They said they ndid n ot recieve two of my books. We all need to mcomplain to the BBB so others don't get scammed too!
