There Is a New Tab in Booktrakker, Right Side, Labeled Amazon

Amazon Data Entry

For current users of BookTrakker who already have data in their database, and upload to other services as well as Amazon:

There is a new tab in BookTrakker, right side, labeled Amazon:

Category refers to the Amazon categories. Default is Other, you can change this in Tools > Options > Records, near the bottom. Amazon Category dropdown list. Otherwise you can set the Category during data entry, all Categories available on Amazon are available in BookTrakker.

Tools > Options > Records:

Condition is the Amazon condition used on Marketplace only. zShops listings do not use this field.

The list of choices is as follows:

1 = Used; Like New

2 = Used; Very Good (default)

3 = Used; Good

4 = Used; Acceptable

5 = Collectible; Like New

6 = Collectible; Very Good

7 = Collectible; Good

8 = Collectible; Acceptable

11 = New

BookTrakker will match these conditions automatically based on using the Book field on the main data entry form. As you select from the Book field one of the choices, BookTrakker will set Condition on the Amazon tab according to the following equivalence table:

AN, F+, F, NF = Used; Like New

VG+, VG, VG- = Used; Very Good

G+, G, G- = Used; Good

Fair, P = Used; Acceptable

If you want to use any other selection then you need to manually change the choice to what you want. There is no capability within BookTrakker to distinguish between Used, Collectible or New.

Marketplace - Tells BookTrakker to upload this record as a Marketplace listing. If you type or scan in an ISBN into the ISBN field on the left side of the Keywords tab then Marketplace will be checked automatically upon leaving the field. You can uncheck it if you want to use the ISBN field for other services but not as a Marketplace listing.

Expedite - Tells BookTrakker to upload this record as "Expedited shipping available" for Marketplace listings. This only applies to Marketplace listings. You can set defaults for Expedite in Tools > Options > Records in the middle of the form.

International - Tells BookTrakker to upload this record as "International shipping available." This only applies to Marketplace listings. See above for setting as a default.

For both Expedite and International, if the box is unchecked then the listing will reflect that you do not wish this book to be shipped either as Expedited or International.

Item Note - Used for the Comments field on Marketplace. Limited to 200 characters, it will not allow you to enter more than 200 characters, even though the field appearance may be larger. If Item Note is used then BookTrakker will get the data for the Item-Note field in the upload file from this field. Leave it empty and BookTrakker will use your Marketplace Field Mapping instead.

This field will allow you to use one description for Marketplace listings and a different description for the other services.

S&H - On the Prices tab you will see a field labeled S&H. This is for zShops shipping, where you want to specify shipping for the default listing on zShops. Like so:

Price:$656.00s&h fee $15.00

When a buyer purchases this listing the shipping fee will be included automatically with the order, for whatever this fee represents.
