So yesterday I tried to post a child's book, from a popular series, and the wrong book came up with the exact same ISBN! It was called "Cheerleaders xxxxxxx" so definitely not another children's book.

Tonight I tried to post a paperback romance book for tweens and it came up with right book, but says "Hardcover". Is there something going on with ISBNs lately?

I don't think it is PBS issues, I think it is a case of the more books that get published, the more instances of re-used ISBNs we are going to see.

These are fairly common problems becuase publisher's reuse ISBN's. Like Melanie said-it's not an issue with PBS. You just happen to have a couple in a row.
