Pasaj allows you to delete your listed books at any time. This is useful when you no longer want to swap a specific title, when you want to exchange books nearby with different options, or when you need to free up space in your active listings.
Before deleting a book, it is important to understand how this action affects any active proposals related to that book.
How to Delete a Book
To delete a book from your collection:
- Go to My Books
- Select the book you want to delete.
- Tap More Options
at the top right corner of the book detail page. - Tap Delete.
Once confirmed, the book will be permanently removed from your My Books list.
What Happens If There Are Active Proposals?
If the selected book has active incoming or outgoing proposals, Pasaj will display a confirmation message before proceeding.
By confirming deletion:
- All active incoming proposals for the book will be automatically declined.
- All active outgoing proposals for the book will be automatically withdrawn.
Pasaj will notify users who were actively engaged with that book, ensuring transparency in the book swap and book exchange process.
This prevents confusion and keeps interactions clear for users who are trying to swap books nearby or exchange books nearby with you.
Important Notes for Free Users
👉 Free users can have a maximum of three active books at any given time.
If one of your books is not receiving interest or proposals, you can delete it to free up a slot. This allows you to list a different book and increase your chances to find books nearby and connect with other readers.
Deleting inactive listings strategically can help you optimize your visibility and engagement within the Pasaj community.
Things to Consider Before Deleting
Deleting a book is a permanent action. Once removed:
- The book will no longer appear in search results.
- Other users will not be able to view or propose a swap for that book.
- You will need to add it again manually if you decide to relist it later.
If you are unsure, you may want to review any active proposals first before taking action.
