Finding Books in My Store

 

I use the standard eBay Store Search method to find books. I first note that you can select which type of listing to view (All Books, Auction Only or Buy-It-Now Only) – see the top right of the Store Home Screen. You can also sort the listings by Time Listed (ending soonest or newly listed) or Price (lowest first, or highest first).

 

There are three basic ways to find a book.

 

  1. Browse all books. The listings will normally appear by listing date for all types of listings. You can reset this as described above. At the bottom of the screen are links to go back and forth through the pages or you can enter a particular page number to quickly find a listing. Putting in the highest page number will get you to the newest listings, for example, if the listings are sorted by Newly Listed.

 

  1. Browse by category. On the left of the Store home screen are my book categories. Click the category of interest and only those books in the selected category will be displayed. You can then browse as above or use a keyword search as described below.

 

  1. Search by Keyword – On the left of the Store home screen, there is a Search button. Above it is a window for entering one or more keywords. These keywords define the search criteria. You have the option to search titles only or titles and description. Check the box under the keyword window if you want to search both titles and descriptions. Note that if you first select a category and then a keyword, only books in the selected category that match the keyword will be displayed. However, if there are other categories that have matching books, that will be indicated in the category section of the screen by a number in the parenthesis following the category name.

 

For example, suppose you are interested in books on bicycles. You select the Sports, Recreation category and enter “bicycle” as your Search keyword. When I did that, 7applicable listings were displayed. In the left hand category column, there were several category entries. One such entry was Science, Math, Technology (1) indicating that there was one book on bicycles that was listed in this category.

-----------------

Whichever method you use to find a book of interest, I strive to provide quality product at good prices, with listings that are complete and reliable. If you buy a book from me and are dissatisfied, please let me know and I will do everything reasonable to rectify the problem. Good luck searching!
