The AbeBooks Online Inventory Management System can be used to remove books from your online listings. Note: If you are also using a software program to manage your inventory, you will also need to remove these books from your saved database (or mark them as sold) before sending an upload to AbeBooks to avoid having the book restored to your online inventory.
The first step is to list the inventory that you would like to delete. To do so:
1. On the AbeBooks site, click [sign on] and enter your E-mail Address and Password.
2. Click [Your
Books] in the Members menu.
3. Click [List
and maintain your books] in the Your Books menu.
There are three different ways to list your inventory:
1. Enter search attributes to view specific books.
2. Displaying recently added or recently deleted items.
3. Entering your book id numbers for items you want to see.
1. Select the book(s) that you would like
to delete. Multiple
books may be selected by clicking in the boxes next to the list numbers.
2. If you would like to delete all the listings,
click the [Select / Deselect All]
button to select all of your books.
3. If you are deleting an individual listing,
click on the [Delete Listing]
link within the specific book listing.
4. If you are deleting multiple items, after
selecting them, click
the [Delete/Restore] button. Note: The
Delete and Restore functions cannot be performed at the same time. These
functions must be done separately.
5. You will be asked to confirm the deletion. Click
[Yes, Delete] to delete the book(s)
or [No, return to list] to go
back to your list of books without deleting any items.
Books that have recently been deleted from your online listings may be restored if they have not yet been permanently deleted by our system. A deleted book will be available for restoration through the online system for approximately 28 calendar days. When this option is available for a book listing, you will see a "Deleted Listing" caption and a [Restore Listing] link.
1. Select the book(s) that you would like to restore. Multiple books may be selected by clicking in the boxes next to the list numbers.
2. If you would like to restore all the listings, click the [Select / Deselect All] button. Note: The Delete and Restore functions cannot be performed at the same time. These functions must be done separately.
3. If you are restoring an individual listing, click on the [Restore Listing] link within the specific book record.
4. If you are restoring multiple items, click the [Delete/Restore] button.
5. You will be asked to confirm the restoration.
Click [Yes, Restore] to restore the book(s)
or [No, return to list] to go
back to your list of books without restoring any deleted items.
