What is Alibris?
Alibris is a digital marketplace for new, used, and rare books, as well as other media content. It operates through an online network of independent booksellers, who list their inventories on Alibris. The books are then made available on its retail website, a library services site, and through collaborations with Barnes & Noble, Half Price Books, Walmart, and eBay. The platform has an inventory of over 250 million books from more than 6000 booksellers in 65 countries.
Alibris also offers music and movies, including albums, cassette tapes, CDs, VHS, and DVDs. Sales are usually fulfilled directly by the bookseller to the customer. Customers can both buy and sell on the platform. Alibris operates on a commission-based model, with a fee that varies depending on the product and type of commission.
