Books are easy to buy and slow to list

One bulk buy can bring in 300 titles. Typing each one out by hand is where the margin goes.

The hard way

  • Typing ISBNs and titles: one book at a time
  • Condition notes copied and pasted: and mixed up between copies
  • Unsellable titles bought again: with every bulk lot
  • Prices checked by hand: on a few titles, while the rest sit overpriced

The smart way

  • Barcode scanning: each book filled in from the catalogue
  • Condition per copy: like new, very good, good or acceptable, with notes
  • Stock blocklist: slow sellers flagged at the scan
  • Repricing on rules: every title checked, never below your floor

Where book sellers save the most time

Three jobs take most of the day in a book business. Prolisto does the repetitive part of each.

Each copy gets its own condition, notes and price, linked to the same book, so five copies of one title become five honest listings.

Repricing rules follow the lowest rival price and stop at your floor, so cheap books don't sit unsold and good ones aren't given away.

List the same copy on eBay and Amazon. When it sells on one, it comes off the other straight away.

FAQ

Questions book sellers ask us

Do you support AbeBooks?
Not at the moment. Today you can sell books on eBay, Amazon and your own WooCommerce shop from one stock count.
What if a book doesn't have an ISBN?
Older books often don't. Add the details yourself, or let the AI listing generator draft the title and description from photos of the cover and title page.
Can I list the same title in different conditions?
Yes. Each copy has its own condition, notes and price, linked to the same book, so buyers see the copy they are paying for.
Does scanning work with my phone?
Yes. Use the camera on a phone or tablet, or a USB or Bluetooth scanner if you're doing hundreds at a time.
Can Prolisto send books as large letters?
Yes. Courier rules choose the service by size (large letter or parcel), weight, marketplace, order value and postcode, so a paperback doesn't go out as a parcel. Average weight billing with some carriers keeps postage steady.
What happens to books that stop selling?
Prolisto relists stale eBay listings automatically after the number of days you choose, and can send offers to watchers with your discount and a price floor.
