How to See Audible Purchase History and Return Unwanted Books

Part 1. How to See Audible Purchase History

Managing your audiobooks and avoiding duplicate purchases starts with keeping track of your Audible purchase history. It also helps you verify which titles are eligible for returns within 365 days of purchase. Follow these steps to view your purchase history on both mobile and desktop platforms:

Returning a book on Audible is straightforward once you've located your purchase history. You might want to return a book if you're unsatisfied with it or if it was purchased by mistake. However, only Premium Plus members can return audiobooks, and the title must have been purchased within the last 365 days. When you access your Purchase History, you'll either see a "Return this title" option for eligible books or a "Return stats: Not eligible" message with a "Why?" link if the title cannot be returned.

Note: When you return a book, your credits will be refunded and added back to your Credits summary.

4. Click "Confirm" to complete the return process.
