Hello (bookseller),

We're always looking for ways to provide better buying and selling experiences on Abebooks. Recently, we approached the Advisory Group about our listings policies, and more than 300 booksellers responded. Based on their feedback, we'll be launching updated policies on July 7th.

The following listings are affected:

• Listing more than one copy of a book (unless it is materially different)
• Print on Demand books

New Policies
Print on Demand books should be labeled consistently in your listings to make it easier for buyers to find or exclude them using Boolean searches. Booksellers must use the quantity field or limit their listings to 2 copies for each book (unless the book is materially different).

All of the new policies will be effective on July 7, 2006, to allow you time to make updates to your listings. After that, our Security and Trust team will begin investigating and following up on any violations.

You can review the new Policies (in red text) in Bookseller Central. [Read the new policies now.]

Next Steps
We also asked the Advisory Group for their feedback on reprints, but the opinions were split. We'll be reaching out to our new customer advisory group soon to determine the next steps for reprint policies.

If you'd like to provide your feedback on features and policies in the future, sign up for the Advisory Group today.

If you have any questions about the new policies, please don't hesitate to contact our Customer Support team.

Sincerely,

Sue, Shaun and Jordan
Your Sales & Account Management Team
