How do I offer a trade discount for commission-free sales?

Modified on Thu, 12 Oct 2023 at 12:14 PM

Booksellers who list on BIBLIO will see any trade discounts offered by other sellers automatically applied to book prices. As long as you are logged into your BiblioDirect bookseller account when looking up books, you'll see any trade discounts being offered by your fellow BiblioDirect sellers already applied to book prices. You'll also see any trade discount you offer reflected in your own listing prices.


As long as you are offering a minimum 10% trade discount and maintain at least 150 books for sale on average*, all the orders you receive from other BiblioDirect booksellers are commission-free!


To make changes to the trade discount you offer other BIBLIO dealers, log in to your BiblioDirect Bookseller Tools and click on Account, and select the Account Settings link. Go to your Business info tab and you'll see "Dealer discount", beneath your email address and website. You'll be able to change the percentage discount you offer. Don't forget to click Save to make that change effective.



*Your average inventory count is calculated by the number of books you have had for sale on Biblio in the previous 7 days.  Placing your account on vacation or your account having been temporarily suspended does not affect that average book count.
