Description

Quantity Manager automatically handles the available quantity of fixed-price listings. This allows sellers to keep an artificially low quantity visible to buyers at all times without running the risk of the item ending. This helps improve the perceived scarcity of the listing and can lead to higher conversion rates.

Two criteria that determine placing in best match are "recent sales" and "listing performance." By using Quantity Manger to improve the likelihood of making a sale the seller can also increase their best match ranking leading to even more sales.

The seller simply tells Quantity Manager the quantity in stock (Inventory) and the fixed available quantity (Display) to maintain in their listings. Quantity Manager refreshes an item's available quantity each time a buyer makes a purchase until the seller runs out of that particular item. Sellers can even set default quantities and enable the built in "smart" behavior so they never have to setup another item ever again.

If a listing does end due to time running out or reaching a quantity available of 0, Quantity Manager can relist the item automatically. If enabled, the "Smart Relist" behavior will take into account your recent sales score and can relist or sell-similar depending on which is more beneficial to you. This allows for the retiring of poor performing listings replacing them with a fresh listing with a reset "best match" score.
