[Background of the problem]
eBay provides two different selling methods, namely Fixed Price and Auction. Whether you list items in the form of “Fixed Price” or “Auction”, you need to set the listing method, price, and available quantity of the items so that the items can be listed and sold in a more suitable sales form. After creating the product information in the listing, Zhang Ling began to create sales information.

The listing methods of items include “Auction”, “Fixed Price”, “Auction” and “Fixed Price”. Choose the appropriate listing method based on various factors.

If the auctioned item does not exceed the preset reserve price, you can choose not to sell the item.

Regarding the quantity of goods: Be careful to set the salable quantity of the item and strictly manage the inventory. If the inventory is adjusted, the seller must adjust the salable quantity of the corresponding listed items in a timely manner to avoid the situation where the warehouse has goods but the listing page is out of stock, or the listing page is in stock but the inventory is out of stock, so as not to bring a bad shopping experience to the buyer and cause the seller’s account to be blocked.
