    Default Importing Listings from AbeBooks

    I have over 1600 books currently listed on AbeBooks which I would like to offer for sale on eBid. I have the listings as a text file but Ninja Lister can not import it, saying that it is not a familiar file type.

    Has anyone managed to import items into eBid from Abe? How?

    I'm not sure, but I think you may need to export it as a csv (spreadsheet file ?)

    Hope someone else can help you better.

    Aha! I had not seen that. I did get a ticket and exchanged a few emails with Gazza regarding the team working on ABE imports, but I wasn't aware that it had been done. I'll have a bash at that tomorrow.
