Your Books, CD's, DVD's and Games all have a barcode, ISBN, or EAN. You can scan the barcodes using the app/your barcode scanner. Alternatively, type all of the numerical digits above or under the barcode into the search box, including any at the beginning or end of the sequence that may be smaller. Some books may only have an ISBN. The ISBN might be on the publishing details page at the front of your book. If it does not have an ISBN, then we cannot accept it.
The ISBN is a 10 or 13 digit number that is unique to each book. It appears next to the barcode on most books and in instances where it doesn't it can be found on the publishing page.
An EAN is a unique 13 digit number which is used to mark and list saleable goods. This number is also represented by a barcode. The EAN is typically found in the bottom right corner of the back of an item.
A barcode is a machine readable representation of the EAN or ISBN. This information relates to the product it is attached to. It looks like a series of vertical lines differing in thickness.
