Important Notes

  • AbeBooks connection uses an API key, not a login authorization flow

  • You may need to manually crosslist existing inventory

  • Some older inventory (not originally listed via AccelerList) may not appear right away

  • Make sure your items are marked as available in Seller Central


Tip: If you don’t see all your inventory, it may be because only certain SKUs are eligible for crosslisting depending on current system limitations.
