Maybe its me but what's so great about this feature? You're still paying the fees just not upfront. There's no cost savings for listing multiples unless you do not sell all of your items...so why overlist anyway?

The new tool is not a cost saving mechanism, but a multiple listing tool that sellers will actually use. This is a wonderful new tool for sellers whose items are mainly multiples, such as supply shops. Many customers walk away or don't bother to convo for increased quantities and now we will be able to catch those people in our nets. If I had a nickel for every customer who told me that she wished I had more in the listing, I'd be a millionaire.
We run a supply shop as well?!? That's are main business, not handmade items. I find it a hinderence that theres a fee for EVERY listing that sells. It actually stops us from listing too many items as our customers would rather have the cost savings and combine into one transaction. I spend more time reading through emails, calculating cost per item basis and relisting so that our customers could save $.20 per listing.

If I was able to list an unlimited amount of quantity with just a single listing fee, that would save me time to focus more on business developement and bringing more products to the table. Instead, I spend a good portion of my time creating reserved listings because our customers do not want to pay $.20 per item item when they are purchasing 10 seperate items. I wouldn't either but as a seller I am forced to do so as the listing fee per item is a pass through cost.
I have it :) I love it already

although it has opened my eyes to just how much ooak and limited edition I have :)
SimplySassy,
For me, it's a time-saver, esp when I don't have access to a computer. I was out and about when my last sale email came through. I remembered I changed the available already and did a mini happy dance at the store (which got me a couple of looks) because I realized it was automatically relisted :)
I just realized something and as I haven't sold qty of more then 1 b4 I hope u experienced sellers can answer for me...
When they buy more then 1 qty are they getting the additional shipping per item cost, or just that shipping cost of that item... This will effect what I list for qty in one listing if it only charges for the listing and not total # of items sold, as this is how I made up for listing fees...
But I hope I am worrying about nothing and it charges that additional item cost!
Moes,
It looks like the sh calculation hasn't changed.
It's now past 11pm here in NY, and I am still patiently waiting...
I love this!! For me it means if I have 5 I can list 5, if you want two you can have 2! No more expired on the remaining 3...for a loss of .60!
YAY
Earger to get this started...but oh my gosh...not looking forward to all the work involved in checking inventorys..yecks...
Sounds great! Will read later.
