How do I get my book into ebays book catalog

From what I can tell, in order for customers to leave reviews (and have the reviews show up) the book must be listed in ebay;s "book catalog? 

 

How do I get my (self published) book into the 'book catalog'?

 

 

When I create a listing I use the ISBN number, but not sure if that's all I need to do.

 

Thanks

If you have an ISBN for the book. then a review "should" tie to that ISBN.

 

You should post this question in the weekly eBay chat

I'm not sure that it would do you any good.

Lots of titles are not in the catalogue, mostly pre-ISBN but also books published outside the USA.

 

Are many booksellers likely to be selling copies of your self-published book?

Even the ISBN.

I really doubt anyone specifically Searches by ISBN except to occasional completist who is looking for editions he does not already have*.

 

Add a couple of words to your title to describe the contents.

GULLIVER'S TRAVELS hcdj illustrated first US edition JONATHAN SWIFT  lilliput Aubrey Beardsley for example.

 

 

 

 

 

* I used to know a man who had so many different editions of Gulliver's Travels that he had to have the floors in his house re-engineered to take the weight.

Your first step should be to list your book.

Then someone can buy it, or if you have a friend with an eBay account, she can review it, with or without buying.

 

But you can't sell what isnt' listed.
