PangoBooks: Buy & Sell Books +4

I have been using Pango for about 2 years now and they are hands down the best overall site on the internet to buy and/or sell books at. They have a great broad selection with many hard to find titles. You are buying from regular people just like us and none of the large conglomerate dishonest book companies. That means you can actually ask questions about specific books and get direct quick responses, you can see photos of the actual books you are purchasing instead of just a stock photo with a description that says “acceptable” or “good”, you can find prices many times much lower than elsewhere because most sellers are simply clearing out clutter or trying to fund their own personal book collections, you can find many knowledgeable sellers who have been collectors for years, the shipping fees are rock bottom including combined shipping costs and Pango provides top notch respectful and understanding customer service to buyers and sellers right away. You can also message a seller to work out a deal or ask about additional books. ***Here’s an inside tip for any Star Wars literature collectors*** Check out the sellers page called “Mos Crowley Cantina”. Most honest and fair seller of every type of Star Wars literature on the internet! Especially if you’re willing to purchase a bundle. Shoot him a message about his huge inventory on and off the site.

Thanks so much for the wonderful review, we appreciate it!

I’ve had this app for about a week and I’m loving it so far! I’ve found some books for super cheap in great condition. I also think that this app is cool because I’ve been finding books that I’ve never heard about before. I will say that most of the selection is older books but there are some people selling the newer popular books too! I just think that the prices are great, especially shipping! I also sell on this app and think it’s pretty easy to navigate through and it’s nice to get a little something for books I don’t read anymore.

Since it is a new app, there are always ways for it to improve and here are a few. When you wishlist books, it doesn’t add them right away in the shop portion of the app. I think you have to exit the app and swipe up to restart the app for it to show up or it just shows up whenever. I’ve also found myself accidentally deleting my listing for selling so I think automatic saved drafts of listings you want to sell would be a good idea. Finally, after you look at a certain thread and want to go back to the thread homepage, it takes you back to the top/all the way to the beginning, not where you were before. This makes it so you have to scroll all the way to where you left off or miss threads that people posted. But these are just little nit picky ways to improve an otherwise great app!

Thank you for the awesome review! We’re so happy to hear you’re enjoying PangoBooks!

I have both bought and sold books on PangoBooks and have been very satisfied! As a buyer, the UI is super easy to understand and find books. Every order is shipped within 3 days, and includes a tracking number. I have one package delayed by usps, and I was pleasantly surprised to see that PangoBooks emailed me as soon as it was delayed to explain the next steps. They are a very attentive team to their members.

As a seller, it’s just as easy. I’ve sold multiple books already, and I love how PangoBooks deals with the shipping so that all I have to do is stick the label on the package and drop it off! The fees are 20% of your listing price, which I think is a decent amount for how streamlined the app is.

My only suggestion for the developers involves the pending PangoBucks. Currently, PangoBooks holds on to your earnings until 3 days after delivery in order to give the buyer time to file any disputes (which I think is great). I think that if the buyer writes a review for the seller, it should release the funds early. I’ve had buyers leave extremely positive and pleased reviews (that even reference the condition of the book), but I’ve still had to wait for my money until after the dispute period.

Thanks for your review and for using our app! We are definitely considering some improvements to the payout window process you describe.
