Managing Items

You can use the 'My Items' section to manage your listings.

Here you will be able to edit, remove and mark any listings as sold.

You will also be able to see from left to right: the title of your book for listing; the date it was listed; the date it has been on sale since; the date it is due to come off sale; mark an item as sold; take a book off sale before its end of sale date; edit listing.

Once you have sold a book, you will be able to mark it as sold. If you have changed your mind about selling your book or have decided to sell it using another channel, then you will be able to take the book off sale. Clicking on the notepad on the far right will take you back to the edit listing page where you can update any details.
