Good to know
Clear answers,
before you meet.
Does CampusShelf process payments?
No. CampusShelf is a peer-to-peer marketplace. Buyers and sellers arrange payment, inspection, and pickup themselves.
Are campus book covers the exact edition?
Catalog covers may come from external book providers and may not match the exact edition offered. Review the seller’s listing details and photos before arranging a purchase.
How does a referral count?
A new student must use the code during signup, confirm their email, and complete campus verification. The server determines eligibility. A code can’t be added to an existing account later.
How do I report a listing or photo?
Use the reporting option on the listing details screen. Reports are reviewed under the CampusShelf Terms of Service.
