eBay auction data is now available through viaLibri

We are pleased to announce that, as of last week, live eBay auctions are now covered by viaLibri’s search engine. This is in addition to the “buy it now” listings which we covered already. viaLibri now fully covers all book listings on eBay.

The time sensitive nature of auctions means that they pair particularly well with our saved search service, Libribot. If you add the details of an item to your Libribot wants list then we will check several times a day to see if any matching eBay auctions have started. We’ll then email you details of the new listing.

Ready to get started? Simply search as usual. eBay auction results will now appear seamlessly alongside our other listings from more than 170 sites worldwide.

Registration is open now for viaLibri Virtual Showcase #4

We are pleased to announce the Fourth and Latest Edition of the viaLibri Virtual Rare Book Showcase. We feel sure you will want to take part. Among other new features it introduces important innovations in the way showcase exhibitors are charged. With previous versions you were required to pay up front the full cost of exhibiting. You were charged regardless of whether or not any items were sold. This meant that you could pay a significant registration fee and yet still not sell a thing.

We decided there had to be a better way. The time had come to try something new.

Beginning with Showcase #4 the registration fee has been reduced from $150 to $75 while still letting you list up to 60 items. There will be no additional charges if you do not make a sale – There is only a small commission paid by exhibitors based on what they sell. In addition, if you are a viaLibri Harvest subscriber then the registration will be waived. The only charges you will be the commission payments that are due if you make a sale.

We are convinced that this new low risk payment model will prove to be very popular with all the booksellers who decide to give it a try.
