"When you finally get the the sub category you want, you get a huge list of the whole database, whether there are any actual books offered or not. You don't know if anybody actually has one listed until you click on the title. Yahoo should keep this list internal and only display what they have to offer. "
I also found this when I checked some categories...not fun from a buyer's perspective. Half.com does this by indicating at the title screen which have copies and which do not [though it's often inaccurate].
I wonder if the "what's hot" items are the only ones with actual copies?

I had my first sale on Warehouse this morning around 10:30 am. If you need to bulk load, you need to contact Yahoo directly and they will send the specs for bulk loading. I spoke with a Rep from Yahoo on the phone and asked about a vacation feature. They are working on one like half.com and will be available after Christmas. For now if you are away, just do not confirm the sale and it will cancel. They assured me that the buyer will not be able to leave feedback on a sale that is not completed. We will see if that is true. They are planning a media blitz to promote the new site. I sell on Amazon and I have gone from selling 15-25 items a day to almost zilch. Now my Good days are 3-4 sale a day, very bad days 0. I have never had a day without a sale. There are so many glitches, I have stopped adding anymore listings and I am adding all my sales to Yahoo warehouse. Why pay $39.99 for a Pro-Merchant account when it is down more than it is up. Yahoo warehouse is Free and they only charge 10% after the sale, no listing fee. I pay 15% plus 39.99 on Amazon and I am feed up.
