I keep forgetting how to list books here without ISBNs. Losing mind.

Re: ISBN error

List book and in listing where it asks for ISN enter it

 

If you mean looking for "sell one like this" then use Barcode ? Or title?

Re: ISBN error

No, it's a weird book without an ISBN. Most older books don't have one either. Ebay wants that 10 digit # or something just like it.

Ya know, eBay had given me "Does not apply" as an answer too. And it just doesn't work. Wondering if there's a different category I could use. This is driving me crazy.

Re: ISBN error

Are you attempting to list your item under "Books" or under "Books/Antiquarian".  Or are you attempting to list under a non-book category?

Re: ISBN error

Don't select 'does not apply' type it in yourself.  It might take then.

Re: ISBN error

Try in antiquarian as suggested.  I used to sell old books here and never had a problem.  Look at some other listings and see what those sellers have done.

Re: ISBN error

I compared a 1946 book with one from 2020.  No ISBN needed for 1946 in Item Specifics.  2020 wanted ISBN, plus UPC and 'ePID'?

Re: ISBN error

Well dang it, now I'm browsing thru the old book listings!  I only have about 4000 books of my own....have any sellers here read (I think it's called) A Gentle Madness?  Awesome book.

Re: ISBN error

What's weird is that it won't allow me to change the category. I guess I'll have to re-do this listing, too.

Re: ISBN error

Just input Does Not Apply.  Works for me.

Edited to add:  Make sure to capitalize each word's first letter.  I've had it kick back when I don't capitalize.

Re: ISBN error

Just listed a hardcover book that eBay will not accept the 978 for.  So entered isbn as minus the 978. Accepted, bingo.

However when I posted it on Facebook, the isbn came up as having leading 978 as a part of the title.

Go figure
