Note that these options greatly enhance the Collectors Book Market Search and Browse functions by standardizing the values used to describe items on the site (use the Description field below for more detailed information on your item).  Users can select or eliminate any or all of these values when they run a search. 

Notes:

This is one of the most important steps when listing an item, because our detailed, nested* category system allows buyers to browse for items by subject, much like they would shop for them in a store.

Tip: Use your browser's 'Search on this Page' function (CTRL-F) on our Category list to match your keyword to our categories. 

*Nested categories allow sellers to put their items in the lowest sub-categories and yet have them appear in the parent categories above it, so put your item in the most specific sub-category as possible to get the most exposure.
 

The listings that potential buyers first see are a one line synopsis of your item's listing information.  You can have up to 250 characters in your "Ad Title".

When you insert your cursor into this field it will "autofill" the information you put in the book title, author, book condition, and Dust Jacket condition fields.  You can edit or add to the autofilled information to clarify or enhance the Ad Title to give users as much information as possible as they browse the category listings or view their search results.  The default search is 'title only' so the more info you can put in the Ad Title, the more searches you will match.
 

• Use HTML to enhance your description's appearance or design your page using our WYSIWYG (What You See is What You Get) HTML Editor to create your description.
• Describe the book in detail and note all defects.
  • Note: Remember you are required to follow the grading guidelines of the grading reference you selected above.  Deliberate or repeated failure to adhere to these standards will result in a warning, temporary suspension, or a permanent suspension from the site.
• Include the storyline, a synopsis, or even a personal review if you want.   You've got the buyer this far, this is the place to close the sale.
  • Tip:  Copy blurbs from the back cover or the dust jacket flaps (use quotes and cite the jacket as your source for the information)..
• Ex-Library and Bookclub editions should ALWAYS be noted, even if they are also designated in the Book Type field above. 
• Include your Shipping and Payment details even if they are included in the bulleted options below.
  • Tip 1: Make these extra clear.  Some buyers won't email to ask and then don't bid.
  • Tip 2: Make your U.S. shipment a fixed amount so the buyer can send payment immediately if they want.
• To protect our members, outside links are not allowed in auction descriptions.

This should be the lowest price you are willing to sell your item for.  If your item only receives one bid (and there is no reserve price), you are legally obligated to sell your item for the Opening Bid amount.
 

A Reserve Price is a price threshold that must be met before the seller is obligated to sell the item.  Although the Reserve Price is hidden from the bidder, the Reserve Not Met Icon appears on the auction title and the Reserve Not Yet Met indicator appears next to the Current Bid in the item listing.  Once the reserve is met, the auction title changes to include the Reserve Met icon , and the Reserve Met indicator appears next to the Current Bid in the item listing.

Purchase Now is a feature that allows the seller to state a price that any buyer can purchase the auctioned item for immediately without waiting for the auction to close. The Purchase Now feature allows buyers the choice of bidding or using the Purchase Now option to end the auction immediately and win the item

The system will set a "cookie" on your computer to remember your last selections so you don't have to reselect them each time unless you want to offer different options.

Note: You will not be able to change the description once your item receives a bid, however you can ADD to the item description

Note: You can end an auction at any time in your My Auctions pages by using the Close button next to the listing.  Any bids for that item will still be valid and you will be charged the appropriate final value fee.  If you need to have bids removed prior to closing your auction because the item is no longer available, you may contact the administrator for assistance.  Bids will only be removed for legitimate reasons.  Sellers must contact the bidders prior to getting their bids removed.

Note: Accounts with past due balances may be frozen by the administrator.  Users with a frozen account will not be able to bid, post items, or edit their account information.
