hit and miss - service dependant on the seller and this isn't made clear when making purchase.

UPDATE of the 7 purchases made in August 2013, one tracked, I had to lodge 6 missing claims, two of these were resolved within 1-2 months BUT 5 months later STILL waiting on the other four claims!

Something seems to have gone seriously wrong with AbeBooks tracking. Between December 2020 and April 2022 I placed 10 orders with AbeBooks and all tracked & paid faultlessly. I placed 3 orders in August and not one has tracked. I will not be using AbeBooks in future. Since many of the sellers have their own websites and/or sell through other marketplaces - Amazon, eBay - there's no reason to use AbeBooks if the cashback isn't forthcoming.

Did not track, Books arrived in a damaged state with a longer than stated delivery time with an American postage label despite stating shipped from the UK I payed extra for the faster Uk delivery, not impressed.

They did not honour the cashback
After nudging again and again, Topcashback offered me the cash back instead. I am not sure whether the offer was the same as the original percentage promised by AbeBooks.

Waste of time! - Doesn't track and merchant IGNORES claims (over 4 moths and no response) - DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME! Shop elsewhere for books - loads of choice, and all must be better on the cashback front, (as NO ONE could be worse than Abebooks)!

Two purchases made in the last few months. Neither tracked or paid. Had to put in claims for both. Would not recommend this retailer - use someone else.

Refused to pay cash back no valid reason! All was correct and in place my end so I’d suggest you record yourself using this merchant , I personally will use another bookstore now

Abe Books are a wonderful company with great stock and service. Getting the cashback takes an inordinate length of time so really just don't think about the cashback element.

Good luck getting paid. Cos it never happens. If you log a claim, expect wait for 20+ months and then get a reply with a lame excuse to not pay you.

3 months and no cashback from 3 orders and counting; anyone else having issues?

Avoid. Service good but cashback payment is very poor. Took over 2 years to get a response to my claim (Yes - over 2 years) and then they declined it becasue they couldn't find the order details - in spite of it being produced and managed by their systems. Very frustrating and disappointing.

Sadly, this seller does not follow through with cashback very quickly, if at all. Have had to refer to customer services team to chase this for quite a few items. Maybe they can be 'nudged' to be more attentive please, thank you

Abe books decline valid transactions with no reasons. This is a disappointing position, be careful when buying from them expecting cashback Abe books= poor

Tracked very quickly. However, discount applies only to the cost of the book(s), not the entire amount of your order.
