How do you keep track of inventory when you list an item in a ebay store?

Question

I want to list an item in my ebay store with quantity of 12 pieces. How will I know when to relist this item? I dont want to relist after each sale, and have duplicate items listed in my ebay store.

Any suggestions? Or just list them 1 by 1 as they sell and relist?

Answer 1

do you mean you want to list the whole of 12 pieces in one listing?

You can list it in one go, meaning, just one listing.

Provided they have the same attributes. You don't need to re-list one by one. When the listings time end, you just use the re-list, function.

Usually auction management will automatically list it for you, if you sell 0 of it.

If you sell for example 3 out of 12, then you can re-list that one listing again. But make sure you have 12 pieces for sale again.

Also, take note of the listing fees. eBay charge higher listings fees when the number of items go up.

when you list the 12 pieces in a listing, they end at the same time.

Answer 2

If you are listing the item in your eBay Store, it's a fixed price listing. If you put the qualtity available at 12, and the term of the listing as "Until cancelled", you won't have to relist the item at all. The listing will continue after each sale until all 12 items have been sold. Each time an item is sold, the # available on the listing will reduce by one until it is at zero, at which time the listing automatically closes.
