Please notice that many of such "sellers" are scammers that want to sell you public domain books, or books that are available for free download somewhere or just trick you to register somewhere and to pay "membership" so you can download the book you are looking for.

If it is indeed a pirate site, what on earth made you think posting a link to it here would be a good idea?! |

Report it to the publishers and rights holders of the books being pirated if you're motivated to get it shut down. They're the only ones who can do anything about it. Other than that, the best way you can help is by not giving pirate sites free advertisement.

An quite a few more that claim to be selling pirated books that only want to scam you out of your credit card number. No books, and they disappear before you can charge them back for the unauthorized charges on your credit card.

Carousell is a legitimate site (link reinstated). But that doesn't mean some of their users aren't using it for illegal purposes.
