Webuybooks is a good website if you just want to offload some books to clear space and your not too worried about how much money your going to make and if that's your aim then its certainly a lot less hassle than Ebay.
But they are a business so they only offer money for books which they can resell and these are generally the books you can sell yourself on Ebay and Amazon and make a better profit on.
They don't accept the majority of books, so the books your trying to sell on Ebay for 99p are unlikely to be accepted by them and they offer pennies on most books. The only books which tend to go into pounds are relatively recent student textbooks and academic books, again you could get more profit selling these on Amazon but if you just want to offload and generate some cash in the process, its a good no hassle site.
My Mum uses them at the local charity shop she works for and it brings in very good money for them on the books they would otherwise be unable to shift in a small village shop. The process is straightforward you package the books, take them to the local Collectplus store (or they will collect depending on weight and volume) and a cheque turns up 7/10 days later or they can transfer the money straight to your bank account which is a bit quicker.
