Scan Results

Lister comes pre-populated with several different scan results, as described below:

  • E-Commerce: An item that meets the selling threshold to be listed online.
  • Hot List: An item that is popular online, but doesn’t meet the selling criteria to be listed online. These are often great for retail stores that have dedicated sections for currently popular books.
  • Store: An item that doesn’t meet the selling criteria to be sold online. Typically sold in retail stores instead.
  • Salvage: An item with a very low chance of selling online or in stores. These are often sold in bulk to a third party or recycled, depending on the condition of the item.
  • Multiple: A search result with multiple options. Select the matching item from the results shown in the right column to get a specific result.
