Questions sellers ask
How much is the commission?
New books 10%, used books 15%, e-books 5%, stationery 10%. It is charged only on delivered orders, and the rate is fixed when the order is placed.
When do I get paid?
You keep the sale money. The customer pays cash on delivery, which is collected by your courier, so the money reaches you through your courier. Ketab.pk never holds your sales money. E-book buyers pay you directly.
Who arranges delivery?
You do, with your own courier. You add the courier and tracking number when you ship, and the customer can follow it.
What happens if I forget to pay?
We remind you before the due date. If an invoice is still unpaid 10 days after it is due, your listings pause (they are hidden from customers). They go live again as soon as you pay.
Can I sell used books?
Yes. Choose a condition grade (Like New, Good or Fair) and describe it. The commission for used books is 15%.
