Yes, Alibris will do this but it’s not automatically included and they charge a commission to do it. I’d steer clear of it.

It is not difficult at all. You simply download an open listings report,
massage the data a little bit to get it into the proper format that Alibris
wants it and then upload the text file to Alibris.

Hi Adam,
How difficult is it to transfer your inventory from Amazon to Alibris?
Thanks

Thanks Adam. I didn't see your earlier posts, sorry – they did pretty much answer my questions, too, and your initial reaction was exactly the same as mine. Just looking at the prominence of the listings makes my mouth water, and I just couldn't quite believe it. But now you've confirmed my thoughts – 25% sales in what – 2 weeks? That is awesome! I suspect your best stock went first, of course, so that may not continue quite as impressively, but still…

The only other fly in the ointment is how quickly this relatively new market gets saturated, but we must make hay while the sun shines, I guess.

Thanks for that great information, and when I get any useful feedback myself, you (and your readers) will be the first to know!

1. Isn't 10x more appealing than saying 2x?

2. I'm still new to FBA as in a few months and I'm currently selling all
books with a sales rank less than 1,000,000 regardless of price. I'm
constantly switching it up to test though.

3. I made a previous blog post

Hi Adam,
Interesting post. I have a few questions, all related to the above, and FBA:

1. Your heading states 10x sales, where your data suggests less than 2x?

2. You say in your comments here that you only sell some of your stock through FBA (Fulfillment By Amazon). I was wondering how you decide which stock to sell through FBA (and therefore cannot sell through other channels), and which to sell independently through multiple channels?

3. I came across this site via your YouTube video about FBA, when you said you'd give some feedback as to how it was working out. Any idea when you'll have the time to get that out? I'm thinking about FBA here in the UK, which I think is best suited to the sort of popular titles that are difficult to shift (because there are so many people selling them), but if it doesn't result in a big increase in turnover, I won't bother, because of the cost of storage at Amazon - it would be better just to recycle.

Great site - I wish you the best of luck with it.

Robert
