  Placed an order for a textbook through *********** on 12/20/24 for a total of $95.90, which included $4.99 in shipping fees. According to **** it was delivered on 12/28. Never arrived. I was home all day. I attempt to file insurance claim and complaint with **** as the textbook was insured. **** only accepts claims via the seller. Attempted to contact the seller on 1/8/25, 1/9/25, and 01/11/25 through ***********, I received no response. I reached out to *********** on 1/13/25 via their chat feature and "****" told me there is nothing they can do and disconnected. I reached back out to ask if I can file a complaint against the seller, they explained there is nothing they can do, and told me it was impossible that it was not delivered as the shipping address was confirmed correct. I explained to **** that, I never received the textbook despite the status as being delivered according to ****. I went on to say I would like to file an insurance claim but I need the seller to file the claim as per **** policy, however, I cannot get ahold of the seller, which is my problem. Since i cannot get a hold of the seller to file an insurance claim, and I still don't have my textbook, I would like my money back I paid to *********** in the amount of $95.90.

  Good afternoon ****,

  We have reached out to the ****etplace seller on your behalf regarding this matter. The **** tracking does show a confirmed delivery to thee address on file and states that the package was handed to an individual. Once we hear back from the seller, we will notify you with their decision.

  Thank you,

  Complaint: ********
  
  I am rejecting this response because: In my original complaint I endorse that the package shows as delivered, but I never received it. There is no evidence that the package was delivered to the correct address. This isn't my complaint. My complaint is I have been trying to reach the seller to file an insurance claim. I would like my money back. I am unable to file an insurance claim, ONLY the seller can file an insurance claim with **** for non-delivered, or missing packages. I am UNABLE to get ahold of the seller to begin this process. Ideally, they should refund my money, and they should file an insurance, claim. 
  
  Sincerely,
  
  **** ******

Please allow 3-5 business days for the refund to process and post. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you have experienced with the ****etplace seller. Please let us know if you need any further assistance.

  I placed an order for books for my nursing program and paid for expedited shipping to ensure I received my books in time. The money was taken out of my account instantly, then several days passed and I received an email stating my order had been canceled due to their system detecting irregularities in my payment. I've been having the same bank card for nearly a decade, use it daily, and never had an issue. I contacted my bank, and they confirmed my card is perfectly fine. This company is scamming people because I've read several complaints online of them canceling people's orders and not returning their money. Now I am without books and don't have any money to buy new ones because my money hasn't been refunded. I start class in a few days and this company completely screwed me over.

  This business has committed fraud against me. I am a law student who needed to rent by the book as funds have been tight. I had tried to return the book before it was due. I was locked out, saying the book was "overdue" when it was, in fact, not, so instead of allowing me to send the book back, the company marked the book as overdue and charged by card when the book was not overdue. I tried to get in touch with online support and email them (before the book had to be returned), but no one got back to me. Before resolving the issue or even getting back to me, they charged my card 318 dollars, and I STILL HAVE NOT HEARD BACK! I am more than happy to send the book back. I have been trying to, but I am locked out of my account. I would like a full refund for this and the rental. This has been the worst customer service. This caused me extreme stress.

  I purchased a rental book, ************* ***** ****** with ISBN: ************* from campus. I paid about $59 for the book. the order was shipped on August 26th and came a week later. the rental was due on My 13th.. I made sure to send it to *** on that day. I hardly used the book and highlighted about 3 pages. Ecampus sent me an email saying that I returned a damaged book. I have asked for evidence since the book I sent was in good shape to ***. they are yet to reply or send the evidence but keep on trying to charge my account fror $349.99, that is a full new book price. I did not return a damage book or a book that cannot be returned. I did my due diligence to check other rental companies to see if the resale value of the book in the condition of like new or used acceptable and they all buying for less than $55. I have read reviews from here and other online sites showing they usually do this. I cannot afford to pay that amount and I think it's unfair .I didn'tt read the reveiws earlier before making the purchase because I needed the book for law school.

  I rented two text books from ECampus in August, 2024. *** ******** law book came damaged but was in useable condition. I used it the entire semester with no issue. I returned the book and now they are claiming I damaged the book and charged me $375.00. This was in the exact condition THEY sent me the book. Now I am fighting to get my $375.00 back as I didn't damage the book. I have rented from ***** for many years and have never had an issue AT ALL. Going back - DO NOT USE THESE SCAMMERS. Note** the other book I rented has zero damage by me and was accepted as they didnt send me an already damaged book.

  Today, 12/12/24, I found a pending debit in my bank account from "ABC * ECAMPUS". I did not authorize this debit. I didn't buy or sell anything on this website.

  I ordered a textbook from Ecampus before the start of the semester which I needed for one of my classes. It was supposed to be delivered to me in about a week. After two weeks, I had called up Ecampus to find out why my order was taking so long. They insisted that the book would ship out soon. A week later, there were no updates, and I called back only for them to tell me the exact same thing. I had asked about cancelling the order for a refund and they told me that they could not cancel the order and that I would need to return the physical textbook in order to receive a refund. At this point, I had to buy another of the same textbook from another vendor to get the materials I needed in time. Several weeks later after many more calls, the book was delivered to me over a month after I had ordered it. I made another call to request a shipping label to return the book for a refund. I had to call many times and each time they said they would look into the case and respond back to me within 24-48 hours, but every single time they failed to respond within the time they specified or at all. On a call with ******* from Ecampus, he assured me that I would be able to return the book and receive a refund without any fees only for him to email back 4 days later to inform me that I couldn't. I called again and got in touch with supervisor ******* G. who emailed that I could only get a refund after an update on the case and that she would not waive any fees. A few days later, ******* emailed that they were still waiting on a bank update and that the case would not be able to move forward for several weeks. It seems they are just stalling and have many other complaints like this. They make it impossible to get a refund for their negligence and failure for them to send out the textbook in a timely manner. By delaying any action, they made it impossible to return the textbook within the 30 days required by their unfair policy seeing how I didn't even get the textbook in 30 days.

  I have reviewed order ********, we received notice that a chargeback was filed with the bank on 10/30/24. Once the account goes into a chargeback status, we cannot issue any refunds until the bank has cleared the chargeback and provided us documentation of the results. As of 11/25/24, the chargeback has been cleared, and a *** return shipping label has been provided. As of today, 12/04/24 the item has not been scanned into **** tracking. Once the item is received at our facility, we can then issue a refund back to you. Feel free to respond here with any updates. We apologize for any inconvenience you have experienced regarding this matter.

  On August 18, 2024, I rented a textbook from eCampus****, which I received in excellent condition. To protect it, I immediately applied a cover and took extra care when handling it. When returning the book on October 18, 2024, I packaged it in a secure, bubble-wrapped package with additional covering on the corners to prevent damage. I took photos of the covered book, tracking label, and shipping form prior to shipping. Upon arrival, I was informed that the book was damaged in transit, and eCampus**** refused my refund request. I provided my pre-shipping photo as evidence, but they deemed it insufficient, and despite my request, they did not provide an image of the package upon delivery—only a photo of the damaged book. Typically, damage claims require both the item and packaging to be photographed upon receipt, a step they did not follow. Their lack of documentation places an unreasonable burden on customers to prove the condition of items during transit, despite their likely having insurance to cover such incidents. This removes the opportunity for the customer to submit a claim to the courier directly as they require an image of the packaging for the claim. I have requested this be escalated but am no longer receiving a response and my claim for a refund is still denied. eCampus.com should review and update their damage and refund policies to ensure fair treatment of customers, proper management to log all of the details surrounding the damage and better support in cases where items are damaged in transit.

  I sent my book, “******* *** ******** *** *******” (ISBN: *************), to eCampus on October 17, 2024, for a quoted payment of $83.75. On October 24, 2024, I received an email confirming that they received my book in the correct condition, but it needed to be sent to the publisher for authenticity verification. However, on October 26, 2024, I received an email stating that my order was canceled due to quality standards. And I would need to pay a fee to have the book returned to me, or it would be recycled. When I reached out to their support team, they sent me a picture of a book that doesn’t match mine—showing almost the entire spine detached, which is not the condition I sent it in. eCampus has refused to take responsibility for any damage that occurred while the book was in their possession and during transit for publiser authentication verification. I have complied with the terms of the buyback agreement, and the item was delivered in the stated condition. eCampus**** is also refusing to pay the quoted $83.75. I am requesting the BBB’s assistance in recovering this payment. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

  We apologize for any inconvenience or confusion regarding your buyback order. The ISBN ************* we received did have spin damage; therefore, we could not accept the item as a buyback.

  Complaint: ********
  
  I am rejecting this response because the email I received from eCampus on October 24, 2024, which stated that my book was being sent to the publisher for authenticity verification. The email did not mention any damage to the spine of the book. If the damage was as noticeable as shown in the picture I provided, it raises the question of why eCampus would have sent the book to the publisher in the first place. This suggests that the damage may have occurred during transit to the publisher for authentication, which could indicate the book was damaged while in eCampus’ possession.
  
  On November 1, 2024, I called eCampus customer service to request that the process of recycling/destroying my book be delayed. I even mentioned that I had filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau and asked for the process to be put on hold. However, I was informed by the customer service representative that if I did not pay the $12 fee to have the book returned, it would be recycled by November 1st. Given that no alternative was provided, I reluctantly paid the $12 fee, which is why the book is now being returned to me.
  
  I do not agree with, nor accept, these terms, but I felt compelled to pay the fee due to the lack of other options. I also want to note that I had initially expected to receive the quoted amount of $83.75 for my book. I sent the book in good condition on October 24, 2024, and it was accepted by eCampus before being sent for authentication. Somewhere along the way, the book was damaged, and I am requesting that eCampus take responsibility for this damage.

  I respectfully request that eCampus either honor the quoted amount of $83.75 or reimburse me for the damage to my book, in addition to the $12 fee I paid for its return. I hope we can resolve this issue promptly and fairly.
  
  Sincerely,

  I respectfully request that eCampus either honor the quoted amount of $83.75 or reimburse me for the damage to my book, in addition to the $12 fee I paid for its return. I hope we can resolve this issue promptly and fairly.

  Complaint: ********
  
  I am rejecting this response because the email I received from eCampus on October 24, 2024, which stated that my book was being sent to the publisher for authenticity verification. The email did not mention any damage to the spine of the book. If the damage was as noticeable as shown in the picture I provided, it raises the question of why eCampus would have sent the book to the publisher in the first place. This suggests that the damage may have occurred during transit to the publisher for authentication, which could indicate the book was damaged while in eCampus’ possession.

  
  On November 1, 2024, I called eCampus customer service to request that the process of recycling/destroying my book be delayed. I even mentioned that I had filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau and asked for the process to be put on hold. However, I was informed by the customer service representative that if I did not pay the $12 fee to have the book returned, it would be recycled by November 1st. Given that no alternative was provided, I reluctantly paid the $12 fee, which is why the book is now being returned to me.
  
  I do not agree with, nor accept, these terms, but I felt compelled to pay the fee due to the lack of other options. I also want to note that I had initially expected to receive the quoted amount of $83.75 for my book. I sent the book in good condition on October 24, 2024, and it was accepted by eCampus before being sent for authentication. Somewhere along the way, the book was damaged, and I am requesting that eCampus take responsibility for this damage.

  I respectfully request that eCampus either honor the quoted amount of $83.75 or reimburse me for the damage to my book, in addition to the $12 fee I paid for its return. I hope we can resolve this issue promptly and fairly.
