• SKUs/Book IDs: AbeBooks does not allow SKUs containing punctuation marks such as commas and periods. If your listings contain these characters, you will need to remove them before we can upload them to AbeBooks.

• All items with "DVD", "Music" and/or "VHS" in the "media" or "item type" fields will be filtered from your AbeBooks uploads, in accordance with AbeBooks' policies.

• The buyer is charged when the order is confirmed by the seller. Therefore, most sellers want to confirm the order after the book is pulled from the shelf, but before it is shipped.

• High sales for non-ISBN books(specialty, rare, antique), textbooks and academic books.

• Shipping: Currently, the definition of "Standard" shipping method in our integration with AbeBooks is a minimum of 3-7 days and a maximum of 12-25 days. If the minimum or maximum are outside of these date ranges, our system won't recognize the method as "Standard."

• Seller Tips page

• AbeBooks allows international shipping for all items. This cannot be disabled by FillZ for a listing.

Order Processing:

AbeBooks' Batch Order Processing (BOP) and Order API tools provide you with convenience for accepting or rejecting orders.

Additional functions, such as requesting extra charges, reducing shipping, and processing returns are not currently available with these tools. If you would like to complete one of these processes, please sign on to your Abe account and complete them through the Members Menu.

If you are using a third party service such as FillZ and want to request extra charges for an order, you will need to do so directly through Abe. You must not move the order to "In Process" or "Shipped" in FillZ until the order has been totally completed on Abe (you have requested extra shipping, the buyer has approved it, you have processed the order on Abe, and the buyer has been charged).'

FillZ-specific Notes:

• If you are using the check box "Enable auto-confirmation on marketplace(when order moved to 'In-Process')" for Abe, you will not be able to move the order to in-process if the credit card was rejected. FillZ will alert you to credit card rejections if you mark the above box on the AbeBooks configuration page and move an order to In-Process.

• If this check box is not checked, the orders will be confirmed a few hours after they are moved to Shipped status. If the credit card is rejected, the order will be moved to "unconfirmed" status, and a note will be added to the order. We do not recommend this process because we don't want you to ship an order that cannot be paid for.

• The "Additional Attributes" field is exported to AbeBooks.
