Yes, you can sell certain non-book items on PangoBooks, but only book-adjacent products, such as themed mugs, bookmarks, or items you may receive in a bookish subscription box.

🛠️ How to list a non-book item correctly

  • In your listing title and description, clearly state the item type (for example, “bookmark” or “dust jacket”) so buyers know exactly what you’re offering.

  • Include clear photos that show the item fully

  • Do not include or scan an ISBN

  • If your sale includes a non-book item, you cannot use the standard PangoBooks-generated Media Mail label. You’ll need to purchase your own non-Media Mail label and then add your tracking number manually in your “Sold Books” section under Add My Own Tracking Number.

    • PangoBooks is only able to reimburse the amount of the originally paid Media Mail label. If there is an expected cost difference between the PangoBooks-generated label and the purchased label, we recommend accounting for this in the listing price.

    • If the Media Mail label is used, the buyer may be required to pay an additional cost to retrieve the package, or it may be returned to the sender.

❗ What you cannot sell

  • Other forms of media, such as standalone DVDs, Blu-rays, VHS, CDs, etc., that are not accompaniments to physical books (for example, a language textbook that comes with a supplemental CD would be allowed to be sold).

  • Merchandise unrelated to books.

  • Any listing that misleads a buyer by showing a non-book item as if it were a book.
