What is an auto buyout?
An auto buyout is added to your account when you have not returned a book by it’s due date and the price of a 15 day auto extension is more than or equal to the buyout price of a book. If your rental has been charged an auto buyout, you are no longer under the rental agreement as you now own the book. The price of an auto buyout can be found by going to the Extensions/Buyouts section and selecting the buyout option.
