My listings are on eBay Canada, and they show up when listings of books are grouped on eBay.com
Grouping for books is based on the ISBN, which is a number used worldwide for a specific book. Sometimes the book catalogue information will show at the bottom of a page of a group of listings.
ISBN is short for ....... International Standard Book Number
With many non-book items ... DVD's and other such items, including electronics....the number might differ among countries...... This could be due to copyright... or the voltage of electricity as it differs between Europe and North America.... and perhaps other countries as well
My only concern with books is that with recent publications a book will sometimes have two numbers.
an ISBN-10 with 10 numbers..... and then an ISBN-13 with 13 numbers...
An ISBN-13 was added to the system when it found that the ISBN system would run out of ISBN-10 numbers if only 10 numbers were used in the ISBN.
When a search is completed on eBay.com.... and similar listings are grouped..... my listing shows up as the "Our pick" at the top of the page.....
The only problem is ..... Is this correct for all searches by potential buyers?... or... is this shown with my listing(s) as the top pick because I am the one doing the search.
--------------------------------------
There are several things I have learned over the years....
(1) Buyers might not buy a book if a stock photo is used.
(2) Buyers choose not to buy books priced less than $10
(3) Buyers have learned to look at feedback...... Negative feedback is an indicator of poor customer service...... and many times... especially most recently..... sellers with millions of listings of books on eBay do ship books in very poor condition....
(4) The listing on eBay may not be specific to the condition of the book, edition of the book, and many other factors..... Sometimes buyers are looking for a specific edition, with a unique dust jacket and more, such as printing, and do not get the book described in the listing.
There is a seller of books that will put the following statement in all of their listings.....
The book you get may not be the one described in this listing.
(5) Buyers will look for a seller with several books they may want to purchase..... looking to reduce the cost of shipping, when a multiple purchase is made. The buyer also looks at the ... total cost .....of several books, compared to buying each book from different sellers.
