Multiple ISBN
I have a book that can be listed under multiple ISBN numbers. The correct ISBN that is on the book that I have Iam not approved to sell it under. The other ISBN number which is for the same book Iam approved to sell it under. What should I do? Can someone help me? I don't want to make a mistake and mess up my account.

No book should be listed under multiple ISBNs. It might be the same title, but will be hardcover vs. paperback, or a different publisher, etc. Your item should match the page. You risk having people reqeust a refund with the claim "not as described" on the web site. And Amazon may deactivate your listing, or remove the page, on and on. It shouldn't mess up your account as such, but still not a great practice.
Having said that, Yes, there are many book pages with incorrect information. Which makes other sites look that much more attractive for selling books. Good luck.

A book has only one ISBN.
Perhaps you are referring to a book which has a proper listing with the ISBN, and another listing (ASIN) which has a non-ISBN number (usually starts with B0).
There are a lot of these "alternate" listings. On rare occasions, they are okay (for example, a book on gardening sold in "Books" and "Gardening"), but generally are not allowed. The alternate listing will generally get less traffic, and when Amazon finds it, if they determine that you listed there to get around a restriction, then they may issue a warning.
If the proper ISBN listing restricts you, and the information is correct (binding, edition, etc.), then move on. Don't try to list it on Amazon.
