Policy
Free listings for sellers
Any verified user can list as many books as they want on Book-Stellar at no cost. There are no subscription plans or listing fees. You only earn when a buyer pays to unlock your contact details.
Contact unlock fee
Buyers pay a 10% platform fee (based on the book's asking price) to unlock a seller's phone number and contact details. Once unlocked, the buyer can directly contact the seller to arrange courier delivery and negotiate payment offline. Book-Stellar takes 100% of this fee.
Courier & payment
Sellers and buyers arrange book delivery and payment outside the platform. Book-Stellar does not hold money or handle shipments. Both parties are responsible for coordinating logistics, insurance, and payment methods directly.
Listing accuracy
Sellers must accurately describe the book's condition (Good as new, Used, or Old and damaged) and upload genuine front and back cover photos. Misrepresenting a book's condition may result in listing removal or account suspension.
Privacy
We store your name, email, and phone number to operate the marketplace. Your phone number is only revealed to a buyer after they pay the unlock fee (10% of the asking price) for a listing.
