Do I need a PayPal account to purchase an ad

No, when you click on your chosen pricing plan you will be redirected to a payment page. On this page you can enter your PayPal details to pay using your PayPal account, or if you don’t have one, there is a second link “Don’t have a PayPal account?” which will allow you to pay using debit or credit card.

How long will my ad remain live on the site?

Your ad for your third level book(s) will remain live for 90 days after uploading the ad. You may then renew or remove your ad, however statistically you are far more likely to sell your book before that time runs out!

How do I receive payment from the buyer for my book?

This is completely up to you. If you are selling the book to another student in the same college as you, or to someone living close-by, the simplest method is simply have the buyer collect the book and pay in cash. If you are running a trade for a book(s) with someone from another part of the country or you aren’t comfortable meeting a stranger buyer, you can simply post the book(s) to them and receive payment through PayPal.

Does it matter what college/university my book is suitable for use in?

UniBooks is available for use to ALL third level students in the Republic of Ireland. This means that if you have books for sale that are used in any third level institution in Ireland you can sell them through UniBooks.ie
