Hi,

When I enter the ISBN for a CD I know is on Amazon it is rejected.

Does Grabit do CDs?

Today, I tried search with ISBN and also with following criteria:

Date of Publication
Author
Title

In both cases, there was no success. However, I saw the message "Data retrieved"
with two/three bell sounds. I tried after rebooting and still no success.
The ISBN I tried was 0953531296X

and

for other book, following Info was used:
Date of Publication: 1968
Author: Richard Little Purdy
Title: Thomas Hardy: A bibliographical Study

Please help!

What is the operating system? Vista or Windows 7?

CheckIt will fix the problem. I ran your data through CheckIt and 930 ISBN's were converted to 10 digit.

You can test before you buy.

Jennifer,

I have confirmed that 978 ISBN's do not work. This is an Amazon bug in their code. They only process 10 digit ISBN's.

The solution is to figure out how to convert 13 digit ISBN's into 10 digits.

CheckIt can do this for you, but it costs $50.

Amazon in effect has forced its sellers to spend either money or time, or both, in order to list and reprice books on Amazon.

Help > Check for Updates for CheckIt.

As for Reports, please explain how they do not work. They do for me, with your database.

Hi,

Not sure this information will be helpful but here it is. These are the ISBN:

1600241557
0316067393
1599901943
0312383568
0061232920
0312536712
0060817747
0312378262

These are the original prices I was selling at:

  6.63
  4.50
  8.24
11.68
  7.98
  4.92
29.99
  4.65

This is what I entered in the "Set Prices" form:

- No use of the Exclusion formula
- Minimun price 2.99
- Default price 4.99
- Price qualifier Third Lowest
- Amount - .01
- Condition qualifier less than or equal to
- Condition new
- BT Price Field Retail

Perhaps none of the books qualify for a change in price based on the criteria I
have set.  Is there a message somewhere telling me why the books were rejected? 
Something like  "You moron the books are already at that price."

Hi,

Andy,

Once again I overlook the obvious.

Andy,

In the BookTrakker tab, 'Type' settings field, I'm unable to blank out the field
after having once set it with one of selections from the drop-down list.

In other words... I've been using several templates for listing textbooks with
the Type field set to 'Textbook'. Now I want to use these same templates with
the field remaining blank. Even though I remove 'Textbook' by deleting it out of
the field, it still shows up in the field after getting data.

Somtimes, although, the field seems to register the change and remain blank from
then on, until changed again. I've played around with this some trying to get
the change to hold, but I can't see any consistent behavior on my part when it
works. I have yet to try blanking other fields to see if I have the same
problem.

Any way I can get this field to positively change?
Thanks,
Brian

I hit one (yes, my 5th request). ISBN: 0970129483

I don't know how it happened, but the calendar in Booktrakker got fouled up.  Things are printing with 1/12/09 instead of today's dates, and it impacts the storage of the photo as well (listed with the 1/12 date instead of today's).  I looked in the index for help in getting to the calendar used on Booktrakker but could not find the calendar in the program.  How do I adjust the date to reflect the correct listing date/time.
