Tools Update
HomeBase
3.0 Beta - Test Group
We’re expanding the HomeBase
3.0 beta test group, so
if you’re
interested in being one of the
first booksellers to use the
new tool, make sure to
sign up for the Advisory
Group, and watch for the e-mail about the HomeBase Beta group.
Browse
Categories
The Bookseller Advisory Group
has provided their feedback
on the new Browse category
list, and we’re making
adjustments based on their
comments. (For example,
changing "Juvenile Fiction"
to "Children's Fiction".)
If you use our
online
listings manager,
you can categorize your
books there. We’ve also
added a downloadable
list of the categories to
the Members Menu that you
can use to categorize your
listings if you are using
a custom conversion like
Excel or BookTrakker. Make
sure to contact our Customer
Support team to update
your account if you’ll
be adding a category field
to your files. [Read

Extra
Charges Request Timeframe
Based on overwhelming support
from the Advisory Group,
buyers now have 4 days
instead of 7 to respond
to your extra charges requests.
Research showed that the
majority of buyers respond
within the first 2 days,
so this change allows you
to ship your books out
faster, or re-list them
to sell to someone else
if a buyer isn’t responding.
Shopping
Basket
We’re launching a new shopping
basket to make it easier
to buy your books! The new
design addresses many of
the suggestions
we’ve received from buyers
over the years (such as adding
a "save for later" function
and multiple ship-to addresses).
It also paves the way for
buying in quantity and coupons.
It will be launching on our
.de and .fr sites later in
the month, when you will
be able to test it and provide
feedback. Stay tuned to your
Bookseller Bulletins for
more information!
