Buying books

The buyer fee is calculated on the book subtotal after discounts, excluding shipping. Multiple books from one seller share the fixed €0.99 fee; different sellers have separate orders.

Book prices are final prices including VAT where applicable. Private sales do not show VAT. Small-business or margin-scheme sales may also have no separately stated VAT. The VAT rate on Relibro fees does not determine the tax treatment of the book.
