ADD BOOK FOR SALE
Do you already have a user on Bookis? If not, then you need to register. It only takes a moment to do it, just use the website or the Bookis app. Once you are registered and logged in:
Scan the barcode on the book or search the book manually and click "Sell"
You can only sell books in their physical form, sale of audio books and e-books is not permitted.
Now you need to choose a delivery method you want to offer. You can choose between two delivery methods when selling your books:
📦 Home to home - send books from your doormat/mailbox and get paid by Bookis
A delivery man collects the books you sell from your doormat or mailbox, and delivers them to the buyer within a few days. This option is available for a big part of the country, but some addresses are not supported yet.
You can check if your address supports this option here: Is my address supported? (NOR)
Look at this video for how to add address to your profile via address helper: Add you address with our address helper (NOR)
To activate this, you need to add your bank information to your profile so that we can transfer the money to you after you sell a book. We keep your personal information encrypted according to strict security requirements.
💬 Meetup - you and the buyer arrange delivery and payment privately
If your address does not support Home to home delivery, you can add your address manually and use the Meetup method. The delivery and payment is arranged privately between you and the buyer.
You might be familiar with this method from Finn or Facebook. It is a bit more hassle, but you have an option when it is possible to meet with the buyer and when the Home to home delivery is not supported where you live.
