Changes to Preferred Vendors

News & Updates By April 24, 2012 Last Updated on January 14, 2023 by Olivia Smith Tags: No Comments
We’ve just finished making some changes to the Preferred merchants listed on the site. With the number of buyback sites growing every month, we introduced the Preferred Vendor concept two years ago, and it has worked out really well. It makes the site faster for everybody, and it sends more users to those sites that can handle the higher volume and consistently have good user ratings. They also provide BookScouter a commission so that the site can continue to be used by anyone for free.
