10 FBA Book Prep Centers You Can Trust

Finding a trustworthy FBA book prep center is tough, right? 

It seems like there are more people doing online book arbitrage than there are prep centers to accommodate them… so it can be tough finding one accepting new clients. 

To help you find a prep service as quickly as possible, I contacted dozens of FBA prep services and asked them if they accepted used books.

These prep centers all responded and told me that they were fully equipped to process used books for Amazon FBA.
