Seller Central

Inventory, orders, labels, shipments, marketplaces, suppliers and money.

• Become a seller

  Open a free seller account from any country with a display name, a business address and a card for identity verification.

• Settings and your return address

  Update your business details, choose the return address printed on your labels, and pause your listings while you are away.

• Add a book

  List one copy by ISBN, set its condition, quantity, SKU and a Bookface price, and add any other ISBNs the same copy sells under.

• Edit a listing

  Change a listing from the inventory list with the quick editor, or open the full edit page with its collapsible sections.

• SKUs explained

  Your SKU, the listing number, the Bookface SKU on warehoused stock, and the key an extra ISBN carries on marketplaces.

• Import inventory from a file

  Upload an Amazon, AbeBooks, eBay or Bookface CSV file, check the preview, then import the rows that are ready.

• Check Amazon price and rank

  See a book's Amazon sales rank and current new, used, Amazon and list prices with one click from the edit page.

• Required stock and stop ordering

  What the required stock level means, how to lock it to your own number, and what stop ordering does.

• Find a book in your inventory

  Search your inventory by title, author, ISBN, SKU or condition, filter by stock settings, and read the list.

• Connect your AbeBooks account

  Link your AbeBooks seller account so your orders come in, tracking goes back, and your stock and prices stay current there.

• Connect your eBay account

  Approve Bookface on eBay, choose your business policies, and let Bookface list, pull orders and post tracking for you.

• Automate with the API

  Use the same API Seller Central uses from your own scripts: list and update inventory, upload an inventory file, download open orders, post tracking, refund an item.

• Work your orders

  Find the orders waiting to ship, mark copies shipped with a tracking number, and see which copies Bookface ships for you.

• Enter an order from another marketplace

  Record an Amazon, eBay or other sale in Seller Central so it joins your queue, comes out of your stock, and ships from Bookface when we hold the copy.

• Import an Amazon or eBay order file

  Upload the order report from Amazon or eBay, check the preview, and enter every ready order in one go.

• Dropshipping

  Record a sale you fulfill by buying the copy from another seller, keep the purchase on the same order, and route any return to Bookface.

• Refunds and returns

  Refund a buyer on a Bookface order, record a refund on a marketplace order, and mark a copy returned. A refund moves money; a return moves the book.

• Print shipping labels

  Buy USPS labels for the copies you ship, print them in batches, and refund a label you will not use. Postage comes out of your balance.

• Stock at the Bookface warehouse

  How to send your inventory to Bookface for free warehousing, and how to use Outbound shipments to get warehoused copies back, forward them, or send them to Amazon FBA.

• Create a return authorization

  Authorize a buyer to send books back, buy the prepaid return label, email the buyer, and record what arrived.

• Your balance and statements

  What goes into your balance, what comes out, how statements close on the 1st and 15th, and how to add funds for postage.

• Getting paid

  Where your twice-monthly payout goes, how to add a payout method such as a bank account or PayPal, and how Payment methods differs from Payouts.

• Add a supplier

  Create a supplier with its own portal login, change its details or password, and suspend it rather than delete it.

• Assign books to a supplier

  Choose which of your listings each supplier can see and ship, from the Suppliers page or from a listing's edit page.

• Receive a supplier shipment

  See the shipments your suppliers are sending, resolve a price difference, mark a shipment received so the copies join your stock, and record payment.
