The sales quantity is also something that needs to be taken into consideration when posting a product. The following will introduce what sellers need to pay attention to when setting the sales quantity.
1. Steps to set the number of items available for sale in “Auction”
(1) Although “Auction” can only auction one item and does not have a “quantity” option, you can set the wholesale function for the auctioned product by clicking “Auction” or “Add or remove options” and selecting “Lots” or “Save” in the new dialog box. If you choose to post the product in “Auction”, you can only auction one product.
(2) If you select the “Lots/Wholesale” function, you can set up multiple items for auction at once in the Choose a format and price module. “Number of lots” is the number of items available for sale (only 1 item in “Auction”), and “Items per lot” is the number of items contained in each item. For example, if you auction a set of model combinations, which contains 5 doll models, then “Number of lots” is 1 and “Items per lot” is 5.
2. Steps to set the number of items available for sale in the “Fixed price method”
(1) In the Choose a format and price module, click “Fixed price” to enter the “Fixed price method” setting options, and enter the number of items to be published in the text box under “Quantity”.
(2) Click “Fixed price/Add or remove options”, and in the new dialog box, click “Lots/Save” to set the wholesale function for the fixed price items (the “Lots/Wholesale” function allows you to sell multiple items to buyers at one time).
(3) If the “Lots/Wholesale” function is selected, you can set it in the “Fixed price” in the Choose a formatand price module to sell multiple items. “Number of lots” is the number of items available for sale, and “Items per lot” is the number of items contained in each item.
Sellers need to take a rigorous attitude to manage inventory. In actual operations, they need to adjust the quantity of products available for sale in a timely manner according to the inventory situation to avoid the situation where there is stock in the warehouse but the product page is out of stock, or there is stock on the product page but the inventory is out of stock, so as not to bring a bad shopping experience to buyers.
