Frequently Asked Questions

What is book arbitrage?
Book arbitrage involves buying books at low prices from one platform and reselling them at a higher price on another platform like Amazon. This takes advantage off the inherent laziness of consumers in not always searching for the best price.
How much money can I make?
Depending on your effort and volume, users have reported earning £500 to £5,000+ per month. This is time dependent though, as you need to allow time to upload the amount of books that will earn you £5,000 a month. A good rule-of-thumb is for every 100,000 books you have uploaded you should earn roughly £1,000 a month.
Do I need to be based in the UK?
No, this platform works for anyone in the world. It will probably work better if you are based in North America or Europe, but as long as you have direct access to a strong economy there is always potential.
Is there any upfront cost?
No. You only pay us once you've made profit — we take a percentage of your earnings after you’ve proven results.
Do I need an Amazon Seller account?
Yes, you’ll need a professional Amazon Seller account to list and sell your books. There are additional options including abebooks, alibris, however, these charge to list items. Biblio allows for roughly 100,000 free listings but the amount of orders you will receive on amazon compared to biblio is orders of magnitude larger.
What if I don’t have time every day?
That’s fine. Bear in mind it could take as little as 5 minutes to find the book you need and only another 5 to pack and send it off, and if you focus on higher margin books, this means you could earn a strong income with as little as 1-2 books a day.
Can I get a sample before committing?
Yes, we offer a free batch of 100 ISBNs for testing purposes so you can see how it works. You will receive more once you can prove you've uploaded inventory to amazon or another marketplace. PLease see the tiers page for more detail.
How are the books selected?
We cast a wide net, and we now have a large database of over 50 million books, of which youll receive an increasing sample to earn money with.
How do I report my profits?
You can upload screenshots of your seller dashboard along with invoices from where you purchase the books to prove profit. Please note, that transparancy on your profits, and therefore how much you owe us will keep yourself and your account in good terms and will lead to further support.
What support is available?
We provide onboarding guidance, seller optimization tips, and access to a community support channel. Higher tiers will unlock further guidance on how to fully optimise and consistently earn £100k+ with minimal effort.
