Greatbookprices レビュー 

On 12/11/25 I purchased on the eBay platform a book entitled Rome from Great Book Prices Store (Item ID 38909358416; Oreder # 21-13980-55163). The link said the book would be delivered by Christmas, but when I paid I was given a delivery date of early January. I immediately contacted the seller to cancel the order. The book arrived on January 5, 2026. It was advertised as a “coffee table book.” What a joke-- it was in fact more like a magazine with low quality photographs. I contacted the seller to return the book and was told to go to my “Purchase History” and follow the instructions. However the book does not appear in my Purchase History. When I advised the seller of this fact I was told to contact eBay. However, eBay cannot process items not in my Purchase History. You should steer clear of this seller.

BEWARE OF THIS SELLER, DO NOT BUY FROM THIS SELLER.

THEY WILL TAKE YOUR MONEY AND IGNORE YOU WHEN THE BOOK DOESN'T ARRIVE. APPARENTLY THE BOOK WAS BEING DELIVERED THROUGH WHISTL! WHO THE HELL IS WHISTL? NOT ABLE TO TRACK AND THEN NO COMMUNICATION.

BE WARNED, IF YOU WANT TO GIVE YOUR MONEY TO A SCAMMER, THIS IS THE COMPANY.

IF I COULD ADD MINUS STARS, THAT WOULD BE THE RATING.

Bookjackers! Greatbookprices is deceptive and "relists" another seller's book from a different platform (eg. on amazon from a different seller on Abe). As a bookjacker, they do not own or stock the book, they are the middleman profiting off a marked for a listing you did not see elsewhere. Because they are not the shipper, this explains the long shipping timeframes with no knowledge/support.

I ordered a book via Abe Books from this bookseller for a Christmas present. It didn't turn up. Abe Books will not honour the refund and it seems hard to identify the real culprit.

Hopeless customer service...book arrived in a different year to the order! Avoid..

Ordered a Christmas present on 6 December. Was told it would be delivered by 26 December. Bit of a long time, I thought, but it might still arrive within a few days. Now the 27 December and no sign of the book, just some fairly meaningless tracking info about being in transit. Company is refusing an automatic refund claiming I am suffering from confusion re. the delivery date. Luckily, I had ordered a substitute present from Amazon, which arrived in 24 hours.

sent wrong book,took ages to get reply to chase up. 1 week since wrong book sent, then returned to them, still no reply to e-mails asking for refund. DO NOT, use this company.

This company used Amazon shipping. I avoid using Amazon and don't buy from them, so this was strike one. Strike two - their data protection protocols appear to be abyssmal. I ordered a book and my son, who does not live with me, received a text notification of the Amazon delivery time, as did I on a number I did not provide to them. Since the order was given as a one off & 2 of the phone numbers they used for the Amazon delivery notification were not provided at that point and one of them was not even mine, they must be obtaining data from somewhere, presumably Amazon.

"1 Star" is required but is "1 More" than I would offer in reality! Book arrived badly damaged. The packaging was a flimsy grey plastic bag.. Posted ( forced) through the door letterbox... Response for complaint non existent....They trade via Abebooks who were very responsive and apologetic ,. eventually informing me they can get no response from this company either!.initiating a return and refund via themselves ( not followed this yet)...I wish I had looked for reviews on this so called book supplier prior to ordering.... Given the amount of complaints here I also wonder why Abebooks are still involved with this trader and therefore any repeat of this means of book buying will not be happening!!

Firstly the book I ordered through abe arrived and seems to be okay. But greatbookprices used Amazon Shipping UK. It was pouring with rain and having been advised of the delivery I stayed in to make sure I was in to receive it. Received a text during the afternoon from the driver saying he had left the package by my bins in the front garden. If he knocked on the door neither the dog or I heard it. When I checked the package it went through the letter box. I am very very angry a having wasted my day for no reason. Sellers are responsible for their choice of carrier - avoid greatbookprices and Amazon shipping UK if at all possible

I received a book with 50 missing pages but 50 duplicates of the prior 50 pages. My complaints are getting immediate responses of duplicate answers of a 90 day limit for exchange or refund, that must be AI.

So missing pages, wasted cost (full price), not even a human to respond. Meaning purchasers from Abebooks should immediately count book pages?

This is a terrible place to buy Christian books. They have terrible customer service and no returns.

Fraudulent, substandard and unaccountable, do not engage with them. Despite their rating on Abebooks, they disappoint.

Ironic that the name is GreatBookPrices, a book I was interested in was at £38 new, £40 used but unread and in comparison £31 on the US giant who I don't like promoting or using unless I have to (I buy local if I can) and £35 direct from the UK publisher. If you are going to call yourself great book prices you really need to live up to it. I certainly do not expect from the same seller to see a book "used but unread" more expensive than brand new which they are also selling - this seller obviously does not check their own prices. Its always worth checking used book prices - many sellers are not competitive with the best new prices which is a shame for the environment.

Ordered through Abe books. 2 expensive special edition books. They arrived in a PLASTIC BAG. No padding, no protection, nothing. The package was even torn open for good measure when it arrived. The book edges and corners are obviously damaged now, because they were shipped with no protection at all. A Special edition book in a plastic bag. I just can't get over it, honestly. This is disgusting.

I ordered a book via Abebooks which never turned up. I have emailed them 4 times and all I get is an automated response which obviously has nothing to do with my order as the response says saying about Yodel, and the order says the delivery company is PPX. This was an expensive book and there was a long delivery time anyway and now I still have no book

Useless. I needed to amend my delivery address and sent three messages - which they ignored. Goodness knows where the book will end up (if they sent it at all).

To my relief, I noticed that the seller has since vanished from eBay. I’m curious if anyone else has encountered similar issues with this seller or knows what ultimately happened to them. It’s crucial that we protect authors' rights, and I hope eBay takes stronger action against unauthorized sellers in the future. JMO

Ordered a local atlas from Abe Books on May 20th but I later noticed that the seller was greatbookprices. I'm positive the tracking# provided is bogus. It states that the item arrived at my local postal facility (located literally 4 miles from my house) on June 10th but now, mysteriously, it's on it way to the next postal destination and arriving late. I have requested a refund because I know I will never receive this item.

Terrible experience, suggest you not buy there. I placed an order for a book from them on eBay on May 15th. Unfortunately the shipping was not going to get processed and sent until weeks later so i attempted to cancel on the same date. Reply from them was first, cannot find the order. Then later, it is too late to cancel. Now of course i can return it to them at my expense. This is a terrible way to treat their customers and would suggest everyone find books somewhere else.
