Thanks Ilja! Let’s say another situation. Listing has quantity = 2, 1 sells and 1 remains in stock (GS still shows quantity = 2). After some time, I manually end that listing. Then I double it (I never use “relist” command, I use directly “start”), move to trash the expired one and start from zero the copy. Does it still show quantity = 2?
The question could be: when a listing is ended and there is still available quantity, does quantity field update on its own?
It works for relisting and revising. After relisting or revising to ebay it corrects the quantity number in GS. It works so well I went and revised a bunch just to watch the quantity number in GS change and the revise works perfectly! However, If you end it and start a new listing as @fedege96 wants to do
GS uses the original number with no sales subtracted.
@fedege96. The solution to the problem is revise the listing first which corrects the number in the quantity field then end it and start your new one from zero the copy like you want. Then GS has the corrected number left in stock. See, there is a simple workaround to the problem at last.
Noticing an issue (not sure if it was in previous release but I will mention here):
If you have the ATTRIBUTES window OPEN as a static open window, and you wish to select multiple listings in order to change or add 1 attribute, you typically highlight the folder OR shift/Cmd click to select those listings.
When you do this with that ATTRIBUTES WINDOW open BEFORE YOU SELECT LISTINGS, ALL of the listings you select will now erase all previous attribute settings and replace them with the first item you selected. This error ONLY happens when the attribute window is constantly open and you select multiple items. If you first select the multiple items and THEN open the attributes window then this error does not occur and the data stays “neutral” until you decide to mass change an attribute. Mentioning this here before others run into this issue as it could cause a lot of problems if you are not aware of it. I just selected 30 items to add an attribute and it reset the MPN, Manufacturer and 5 other attributes for these 30 items and replaced them with the attributes in the first listing I selected. I will provide 2 screenshots refrencing what this window looks like in both states: (the top image shows where the error occurs as that maneuver caused all selected listings to take on the attributes shown, where as the bottom photo shows how it should(?) work which allows the user to select which attributes to change manually as opposed to forcing all attributes to change instantly)
**Edit: I tried to reproduce and it appears to change ALL settings if you actually edit a setting (as designed) or select to add a new attribute, then it will change ALL the other attributes for ALL listings selected
How does it work with auto-cancellation? When an item is automatically closed, does it update quantity? I am use to start a new copy of each listing, I need to remember the workaround, but this is not practice if, like this month, I want to close 12.000 listings and restart them. Revising would require a lot of time…
I guess this is because the auction will get a new number and be seen as “new” by the algorithm.
Instead of a reminder that an auction was relisted the newly listed item will be communicated differently. If a buyer observed a listing for a longer time he might have forgotten it and the chances are higher an item sells.
My 5 cents, but with new starts the sales are higher than with relistings - that’s what I am observing.
Relist gets a new ebay number different from the original number. I have started using relist because of the feature in GS that is updating quantity. SUPER GREAT FEATURE! It is also 2-3 seconds faster because it allows me to instantly hit the “relist listings” button without the pause of 2-3 seconds that the start button hesitates until the button turns blue.
@fedege96 I wait 2 or 3 months to end and relist so the auto-cancellation feature set up for every 30 days as currently configured won’t work for me. Could a smart group be made to include those with a sale, revise them in bulk just prior to auto-cancellation, and then set the auto cancellation feature to do its work?
@cardhopper The relist get the new listing flag on ebay the same as a start does. . A relist is also rumored to bring the “history” of the old into the new listing which might be what affects to difference in sales you observe. That history might be what the algorithm is seeing and not allowing the search views that a new vs relist gets.
@ilja This is an excellent upgrade! I now can create a smart group using my parameters to end listings and relist them with the proper quantity showing the stock I have left. I save 95% of my relisting time since I can automatically use the program features without having to recheck the quantity because the program is doing it for me. 1,000% better for me! THANKS MUCH!
Uhm let’s say another one: why not leaving available ONLY relist command if a listing is expired (greyed icon) and leave start only when the listing is new (empty icon)?
Anyway this is a great effort, it will surely be a great hit for GS!
Let’s see what @ilja thinks about this. What worries me is that next time I have to restart a large number of listings, I erroneously click on start and then I am no longer able to match expired listings with quantities sold with new ones in order to update left quantity. This would be a problem. I think that the final solution would be preventing users from “starting” expired listings and only leave relist. “Start” is for new ones…
