How do I sell my video games to TextbooksRus.com?
Selling your video games to TextbooksRus.com is easy! Follow our simple instructions
on how to sell your video games.
How do I search for my video games?
To find your video game, please search by the title or UPC located on the back of
the case. Many titles have multiple versions available. Make sure to select the
correct version of your game to receive the correct quote.
How do I determine the condition of my video game?
We buy video games in new and used condition.
- Brand new video games have not been played and are still in plastic
wrap.
- Used video games may have been played once, twice, or several times.
Used video games must be sent with the original case and game instructions in order
for the price quote to valid. If you are sending the disk only, please check the
box “No case / manual” when selling your video game. The product may have minor
scratches but plays perfectly. We do not buy heavily scratched / damaged games or
games that do not work. These items will be discarded and not returned to you.
Many titles have multiple versions available. Make sure to select the correct version
of your game to receive the correct quote.
Why was my payment less than quoted?
Prices are based on the condition and UPC of the product received in our warehouse.
If the condition or UPC does not match the product as you entered it, your quote
will be adjusted to the proper payment for the item received. Please give accurate
information about your video game and pack your shipment well. Please review our
packaging guidelines to ensure the safe arrival of your video game(s).
What happens if you do not buy my video game?
If you send an item that we cannot purchase, it will be recycled. Remember, we do
not buy any video games that have severe scratches / damage or do not work.
How does shipping work?
TextbooksRus.com will provide you with a prepaid shipping label that you can print
out from your computer. Delivery Confirmation is included with the label, so you
can verify that the item successfully arrived at our location. The cost of this
label is billed to us, so you never have to worry about it. Need more labels? No
problem, just visit Your Account and click on
the buyback in question. Then click "Add a shipping label." You can request as many
free labels as you need.
Shipping Methods:
- FedEx (Pre-paid label): This is the default carrier for buyback shipments. FedEx
guarantees delivery in 1-5 business days. Drop off packages with FedEx labels at
the nearest FedEx drop off location or arrange for a free pickup from a business
by calling 1-800-GO-FEDEX. When dropping off your package, please select a FedEx
Staffed, FedEx Kinkos, or FedEx Authorized ShipCenter. Uncheck the box next to FedEx
Self-Service locations since they are unable to accept your package. Pickups must
be scheduled from a business, not a residence. If you call to schedule a pickup,
make sure to mention you have a "return label."
- Media Mail (Pre-paid label): From the day you send your package to us, Media Mail
usually takes between 3-14 business days to arrive. Drop off packages with USPS
labels at your local post office.
Please note that these times are estimates and we are not liable for delays that
are out of our control.
What if I cannot view or print my shipping label?
Please be sure you have the latest version of Adobe Reader installed on your computer.
If you do not have this software you can obtain a free copy from Adobe.
What is the advantage of using FedEx over USPS Media Mail?
FedEx guarantees delivery in 1-5 business days. Each order shipped via FedEx is
automatically insured. USPS Media Mail usually takes 4-14 business days to arrive.
We strongly suggest you purchase insurance when shipping your buyback to us via
Media Mail, however optional insurance for Media Mail packages is not an expense
TextbooksRus.com covers. If you ship your buyback order to us using Media Mail,
TextbooksRus.com is not responsible for packages lost in transit.
How long does the entire process take?
After your buyback is received, it usually takes 1-3 business days to check-in your
video games and an additional 1-3 business days to issue payment. During peak buyback
periods, processing may take longer. Peak periods are usually late December through
January and late May through June.
Why was I issued a USPS Media Mail label instead of a FedEx label?
FedEx does not operate on holidays or weekends. Therefore, buybacks submitted during
those periods may receive a Media Mail shipping label instead of a FedEx shipping
label. Please note that both the FedEx and Media Mail labels are pre-paid, so the
shipping charges are billed to TextbooksRus.com.
