Found the place to create sets.

I am finally posting books for sale and I do not see the option to sell as a set. Where should I look?

Atomic Avenue's Advanced Find function was removed as part of the current site redesign. Instead, search + filtering on the results pages takes its place.

Sorry, I don't know what I was thinking here. Especially after seeing the image that was posted. I need to get out of the house more often!

I am talking about the website. Gregory, assuming what you speculate is the case. I would expect some kind of notification to be sent out prior to making a change like that. Something like this just hurts the people selling on this site as it make searching far more difficult and possibly losing out on sales due to buyers being unable to locate items. It would help greatly if such a change was done that someone from Atomic Avenue respond with an explanation or provide a link to any relevant information about this.

If I am understanding correctly, the OP is about Advanced Find on the Atomic Avenue website. The version of ComicBase one is running isn't relevant (in fact, folks who don't have *any* version of ComicBase installed should still be able to visit and do searches on the Atomic Avenue site). I can confirm that I am not seeing "Advanced Find" on the Find pulldown menu on the AA site using Chrome or Safari. It may be that Pete et al decided that using Advanced Find on Atomic Avenue (which is essentially the ComicBase master database) akin to using the data in ComicBase for free, and while some basic searches may be desirable for buyers to find things to purchase, having non-ComicBase owners doing more sophisticated data mining might be frowned upon? (total speculation on my part, I have no knowledge at all regarding Pete's thinking on this)

I was having this issue also and I updated comicbase to the latest build and I see it now. Try updating and see what happens for you.

I can no longer access the advanced find function. I have re logged on, cleared my cache and have tried several other browsers like Chrome and Edge. Current browser I use is Firefox. Nothing seems to work it seem something changed in the past week as I also now get when I do a search a view listed by cover images instead of a listing by text. Unable to resolve this. Is there a direct link to bring up the advanced find?

I click it and get nothing. It used to work.

Thanks.

If you haven’t already done so, definitely email AA support. You’ll get a faster response there than from the msg boards. (Plus, the response will be more specific re: your transaction since AA support can see all of your details plus your buyer’s details.

I received a large order 3 days ago. I pulled all of the issues, reviewed each issue and made some grading adjustments. The buyer was notified by email twice, but the order was not reviewed and approved yet. I have had no response from the buyer. His own store site on Atomic Avenue states that he is on vacation. I can't ship the order until it is approved. What should I do in this situation?

My experience is that 50% or fewer of my transactions have resulted in feedback. Most e-commerce sites find that it is a difficult thing to get buyers to come back to the site after they receive their merchandise to leave feedback (especially if they aren't pissed off), so it kind of is what it is. Your ranking is only determined by transactions for which the customer leaves feedback.

I'm a relatively new seller on Atomic Ave. I've had 9 sales but only 2 people have left me feedback. Does that affect my ranking? I rank as an 'Airman' - if everyone left feedback would my score go up?

We connect to USPS servers to calculate accurate shipping, but sometimes the servers go down. If you get that message, that is the case. Try again later. If you are having chronic problems, feel free to reach out to Atomic Avenue support directly at support@atomicavenue.com or call us at 213 471 2423.

So, I think there is something wrong with Atomic Avenue when I checkout, this message "Shipping calculation failed: Unexpected error in GetShippingRateAsync: Invalid origin ZIP." My zip code is right. So what is going on?

To me (speaking as a non-lawyer and not an employee of Human Computing), that sounds like it could potentially be a violation of the following portion of the Terms of Use for the Atomic Avenue site: You also want to be careful about accumulating too many demerits as that can get you banned from the site.

Is it just me, or do others only get orders on Atomic Avenue when Atomic's prices are way off, to the low side? Every order I get is for a comic that is way lower than the current selling price on ebay. Every now and then, I'll take the beat down, but I mostly cancel the orders, then get a demerit for cancelling. If a book is a couple dollars below the current selling price, it's fine, but the order I got today was $24 under ($30-$50 comic sold for $6.50), which is unacceptable. I give warning on my storefront that orders for pricing errors may be cancelled, but people either ignore or don't read it.

The international shipping prices are ridiculous. It's at least twice the true price. Where goes the difference?

I have placed a couple of orders off the site, and I might have placed more but I am stopping (despite having a cart full of items right now) because it is too time consuming in the current form and the number of bugs I am running into is too high. I have detailed usability in this post and bugs in my previous posts. Enhancement Requests: It would be nice to see the shipping charges prior to checking out see it split out by seller. I put a 3.00 item in my cart from two sellers and one charges 17 shipping and the other 8. It would be nice to know that in advance. Have an option to move items in cart to Buy Later and not just the other way around. Let me check out from one seller at a time. Let me browse a seller’s inventory by title list only – having to page through images of EVERYTHING they have to sell to find what you may be interested in wastes user time and server resources - this behavior only worked from one seller out of the many I viewed. Separating search results by Book/Comic Books/Magazines is unnecessary and dubious as there are obviously a lot of items that are misclassified. For Example "Next Men" is not a Magazine (and neither is New Warriors Annual). People are going to miss things due to these category errors. While I am shopping (and have an active session) perhaps you do not need to bombard me with email about leaving something in my cart. I racked up dozens of these WHILE I was shopping.... If you fix some of these things I will give you another go down the road...

Does NOT Show books or Magazines

This shows that one seller has inventory that can easily be navigated by jumping to a title:

Items in cart moved to Buy Later with wrong name. In image below top is my cart before I hit checkout with an insufficient minimum and bottom shows items with wrong names after moved to Buy Later.

Here is an example.

Hi James -- You want to be looking under Vampirella (Magazine).
