I am rejecting this response because: one, you guys keep sending me the same exact response backPlus, I just found out that you “did not receive” another textbookWhich is totally falseWhy would I not put a textbook in the package that I am trying to sell? I will be accepting any offer until it is me getting what I was quoted for my textbooks or the book sent back to meThis is by far the worst customer service I have ever hadWith all the reviews and complaints already online about this “business”, you should already be shut down in my opinionYou scam college students who are simply trying to sell their textbooks to get money to pay for their new textbooksIt is just really sad.

Complaint: ***
I am rejecting this response because on my buyback confirmation there is nothing stated in regards to their responseHow do I know that this book is inauthentic? Just because that's what they state so they can keep it with ZERO compensationI have sold many many books and NO OTHER book buyer has ever had this policyThe place I purchased this from is a very well known legitimate book seller

We
had previously explained why it states Quality ControlThe status for the
return order states Quality Control when you click the Track button because
there is no 2nd bookIt remains in that Quality Control status
because the return is incomplete due to only one book being receivedIf you
look at the status of each book, it states Not
Received under the book titled Taking
Sides: Clashing Views in Crime and Criminology, by Hickey, 11th EditionIt
states Accepted under the book titled Trusted Criminals: White Collar Crime In Contemporary Society, by Friedrichs,
4th Edition because we received that bookWe had previously provided a screenshot highlighting that area
that states Not ReceivedThe tracking number we have is for one label and with
that one label, we only received one book in one package which was the Trusted
Criminals bookWe did not receive the 2nd book and will not be
considering it returned

Complaint: ***
I am rejecting this response because:I asked the buisness specifically what the reason was that my particular book was rejected and they would not tell me why or look into itThey said that there are general reasons it might be deemed inauthentic but not why my particular book was deemed inauthenticIf they know for sure that my book is inauthentic, there should be a reasonThe buisness would not give me a phone number, manager's contacts, the warehouse contact informationThe buisness would only allow me to email one person who would not help me or give me any detailsThere are many complaints online that this buisness has done the exact same thing to themtold them that their book was inauthentic and would not give them money or return the bookHow is it possible that in one year the buisness has received so many inauthentic books?I asked the buisness if they notified the police, since the book is inauthenticwhich would be illegalI told them that if it was truly inauthentic, to notify the police and please send me a copy of the police report/complaint and evidence that it is inauthentic and they did not email me backThey had told me that it is sitting in a warehouse somewhere. The buisness did not contact me to tell me that the book was inauthentic and they would not be giving me the moneyafter a long time went by without being paid, I contacted them, only to be told that the book was inauthentic without giving any proofIt seems as though they were hoping that I would not notice that they did not give me my money and were not honest and forthright.

Hello ***, When you placed the buyback order, you were given quotes based on the ISBNs that were enteredThis is not a guarantee you will receive these amounts as all books are inspected upon arrival. Our records indicate the ISBN you entered (***) was for the STUDENT
edition of *** ***; which is what we quoted forUnfortunately, the item we received is an Instructor edition with ISBN ***Unfortunately we do not purchase Instructor editions of any type, therefore the book was rejected. You also entered ISBN *** for the paperback edition of Psychology: From Inquiry to Understanding (3rd Edition); however we received the hardcover edition ISBN ***. The current buyback value of the hardcover edition we received was $Your order was updated in your Bookbyte account on 3/19/to show this information.Upon receiving books, our team first checks the ISBN on the book to ensure that it's the same as the ISBN on the order. Each book that our warehouse finds to be an instructor edition has been inspected twice; including at least once by a supervisorAll types of instructor editions will have two ISBNs printed on them: one for the student edition and one for the alternate edition Please be sure to pay close attention to the titles and descriptions of the items in your cart when selling, to make sure it all matches up with the textbooks you are selling. Some used textbooks will have taped-over ISBNs which usually indicates the book is not the regular student editionIt is sometimes difficult to tell which ISBN is the correct one if looking at the back cover, so we recommend checking the book’s title page for the correct ISBN and item description.By clicking the “checkout” button when placing your order, you acknowledged our buyback policy and agreed to Bookbyte’s Terms & Conditions.

I am rejecting this response because: Don't care....obviously this business has a habit of this type of immoral business practice and will continue robbing people of their property. A of rating from almost reviews saying the exact same thing that I'm experiencing: http://www.resellerratings.com/store/BookByte. Seeing that I'm having to waste so much time responding shows that the Revdex.com probably isn't going to do anything about this corrupt company either.
