About BookSwap
A simple marketplace for buying and selling second-hand books, built for UK readers.
Why BookSwap?
Bookshelves fill up. Good books deserve a second reader. BookSwap connects people who have books to sell with people looking for their next read — without the fees and clutter of larger marketplaces.
How it works
- Sellers list a book by scanning its barcode or typing the ISBN
- Buyers browse, search, and choose a postage option that suits them
- Payment is handled securely through Stripe
- The seller dispatches the book and the buyer confirms receipt
Built for trust
Every payment runs through Stripe, so card details never touch BookSwap directly. Sellers receive payouts straight to their own bank account. Buyers and sellers can message each other through the site without ever sharing an email address.
