Books Trade-In

The Amazon.co.uk Trade-In Program allows customers to receive an Amazon.co.uk Gift Card in exchange for hundreds of thousands of eligible items from our video games, games consoles, gaming accessories and books selection. The process is easy and convenient with free shipping, an immediate offer, and no required registration or listing.

Once your item is verified, you will receive an e-mail notification within 2 business days informing you whether your items were accepted or rejected. If your trade-in is accepted by the merchant, a gift card will be deposited in your account. Your submission will not be accepted if it does not meet the eligibility criteria. Rejected items will be returned to you approximately 14 days after receipt at no cost to you, and an Amazon.co.uk Gift Card will not be issued. Trade-in submissions sent via Royal Mail may take up to 6 business days to arrive before your submission is processed.You can find the status of your trade-in anytime in Your Trade-in Account. Once your trade-in has been paid, you'll see the amount when viewing your gift card balance.
