And now the Book Catalogue has disappeared.

[femmefan1946]

I'm relisting a bunch of books and find that the catalogue of books no longer comes up when the link is clicked.

I;m using an iMac.

Any suggestions?

Turbolister no longer calls for the presentation of an ISBN ....  which ties to the catalogue

Bulk Edit still cites the addition of  catalogue information  ... with its addition at the choice of the seller.... always was like this

Revision of  a listing already on eBay does not call for an ISBN, unless the seller chooses to add the ISBN .... Product details are not available.( just tested the option)

My personal view of the catalogue for books, accessed through use of the ISBN is that...........

eBay's catalogue is a mess looking for a place to happen.

Too many errors.

and many sellers would state...

If the catalogue information disagrees with what the seller has stated in the listing... the seller's information is correct...  and the information from the catalogue is wrong.

Yet we must note that ....The seller is responsible for the content of a listing.

Why then include information that is in error?

There are many books in the wrong category mainly because the catalogue said that is where the book should be.

Many seller of books do not pay attention to the content of the book in relation to the catalogue....

such as Basketball player Michael Jordan listed under Ice Hockey!

or ... Tug of War... about the Canadian Army in Belgium during the Second World War....   under Health

There was a threat of eventually forcing everyone to use the catalogue... for books

Any reference ot the catalogue for books on eBay.com appears to be gone....

If the catalogue is gone... with no chance of returning...  then it will not be missed by this seller....

Yes there are errors. When I can't find the exact edition I am listing, I just skip adding it at all.

Actually last year, I could add my own editions, many of them Canadian or British ISBNs, but I haven't been able to do that for several months.

Turbo Lister doesn't come into it. I am a Mac user and TL doesn't support that. I don't understand what the advantage of TL might be except that I am told that setting start times is free with TL and a dime per month with SYI. Since I use Fixed Price listings, the start time of a listing is irrelevant to me.

My problem is that, whether the title is a relist or not, clicking on the catalogue link does absolutely nothing. Even with new titles or relists that did not have ISBNs on the first listing.

So you think that eBay has dropped the catalogue without any notice?

Hi femmefan1946,

Mind dropping me an email with the ISBN(s) please? The exact steps you're taking as well (categories, etc). I'll see if we can have this reviewed to see what's going on.

Thanks,
