I'm trying to order a book from #Abebooks and am at the stage where I'm asked to "protect my account" by verifying items in arrays of nine pictures. Choose the curtains, the chairs, the suitcases, and so on. I think I've been through six of these and it's not letting me into the account. Abebooks has been helpful and reliable in the past, but this is #garbagetech and shouldn't exist. #fauxsecurity #techfail

PSA: do NOT buy via #AbeBooks. If sellers do not honour their commitments, AbeBooks takes no accountability. I just paid a $35 premium for 5-10 day shipping only to find that the seller delayed shipping until 3 weeks after my order (and a week after “expected arrival date”) and then only when I initiated a “lost package” process with AbeBooks—and there is no mechanism for a refund of shipping fees other than asking the seller directly, a process Abe explicitly permits sellers to ignore. #books

@bodhipaksa it's strange that this is the first I've heard about #Abebooks. Seems like a good resource, despite the dreaded Amazon connection

I just found out #AbeBooks = #Amazon 🤮

I'm not a seller, but I've bought a lot of books at #Alibris. It's easy to find what I'm looking for, and I haven't had any problems.
I haven't tried #Biblio.
I stopped buying from #AbeBooks because they're owned by #Amazon

I need to downsize my library and I'm getting ready to sell a ton of my #cartography book collection. I'm looking at both #Alibris and #Biblio as good options. Does anyone have any experience using either platform and any recommendations for either one? I'm also looking at #AbeBooks but none of my stuff is really that old or rare, and AbeBooks seems to have higher fees than the other two.

Dear independent bookshop on #AbeBooks with millions of books carefully updated by price-setting scripts, I don't know how you figured out that 0,55 € is a price I'm willing to pay for the extra service of "buying directly from your website so I don't give a cent to Amazon", but yes, you're perfectly correct. Once again I placed my order.

People looking for #Amazon alternatives (including subsidiaries like #AbeBooks): just received 6 second-hand books from World of Books (UK, also shipping in Europe): excellent price, 1 like-new, 4 good condition, 1 I wouldn't call "very good" as described. But still, great way for books to find a second life!
