Price Comparison in Online Inventory Management

The AbeBooks Online Inventory Management system features a Price Comparison feature that allows you to compare the price of your listing with similar listings already online.

You can compare prices for already existing listings or while you're creating a new listing.

Existing Listings:

First, find the listing by one of the following methods:

1. Enter the author, title, or other details into the search box.  Click the [View Items] button.

2. Search for your recently added or deleted items by selecting that option in the middle of the page and then click the [View Items] button.

3. Enter one or more of your BookIDs or AbeBooks BookIDs into the search box at the bottom of the page and then click the [View Items] button.

Once you've located the listing, click the [Compare Prices] link. The ten lowest priced listings that match yours, as well as the ten highest priced, will be displayed.

Adding a Listing:

1. After clicking the [Manage My Books & Images] link from the 'My Books' section of the  Menu, click the [Add listing] link located on the upper right corner of the screen.

2. Populate the fields as you normally would, then click [Compare Prices] below the Book Price field.

3. Because your listing does not yet exist, instead of being taken directly to your Price Comparison results, a Price Comparison search box will open. Simply enter your search criteria and click [Compare Price].
