Dear (bookseller),

Over the next few months, we'll be launching a number of new improvements to our inventory management systems and related features, such as HomeBase 3.0, Buyer Search Attributes, and an improved Browse.

We are now launching a new ‘beta’ version of our Online Inventory Management System where we have added quantity and the ability to assign multiple catalogs.

Quantity
You can use the quantity field instead of listing a title multiple times, or instead of restoring it each time a copy is sold. For example, if you list a book with a quantity of "3," we'll automatically reduce it to 2 as soon as one copy sells, so you don't need to upload any changes to us.

If you already use our online inventory management system, we encourage you to try this feature out. If you use another system, please keep in mind that your changes will be over-written the next time you upload with that program. We invite everyone to sign on and check out the new feature though! The quantity field will be available to all booksellers, no matter what inventory management system you use, within the next few months.

Multiple Catalogs
Starting next week, we'll allow online inventory management users to assign up to three catalogs per listing. You'll have a few weeks to edit your listings and add more catalogs using this new feature before they appear in your Browse page.

All books assigned to multiple catalogs (up to 3) will be found in those additional catalogs on the bookstore Browse page starting next month – whether you use HomeBase, our online system, or another program.

As with all of our beta-tests, we appreciate your feedback. We invite you to sign on to your account to check out the Online Inventory Management System updates within the next few weeks, and let us know if you have any questions or comments.

We look forward to launching these upcoming projects that will make listing your books easier for you, and finding your books easier for buyers.

Sincerely,

Your Abebooks Team
