Used, out-of-print, rare, and collectible books are shipped directly from our Authorized Sellers. If a return is necessary, the customer must ship the book back to the seller who provided it at the address listed on the packing slip that came with the item. Returns should not be sent to Barnes & Noble.com or brought to a Barnes & Noble retail store.

In order to receive your refund:

Each book purchased from one of our Authorized Sellers will come with a packing slip. This piece of paper will have the address of the seller and instructions on how to return the book. If your package did not include a packing slip, you may contact the seller to request their address. To do so, sign in to the Order Status page and select "Check Status" next to your item. The detail page will include the seller's email address.

The seller will process your refund through Barnes & Noble.com if you:
  • Return the book in the same condition in which you received it.
  • Return the book within 30 days of receiving it.
Note:
  • We will credit your account once the seller has processed the return through the Barnes & Noble.com system.
  • Returns will be refunded in the form of the original payment method.
