Does the "out of stock" option work?

[digital-solstice]

eBay today launched out of stock option on GTC listings to all people.

I enabled that option from site preferances. Later a listing was ended as buyer bought the last item.

So I think it's not working properly.

Well,

        If Its Out Of Stock Then You Should Increase The Rate And Add Enough Stock To Solve This Matter As Stupid Customers Can Buy a Rs :125 Multimeter For Rs :50000 Also Lol

I don't think you understand my question.
For many year out of stock feature was available to only those who were using eBay API.
This feature basically allows you to keep a GTC listing running with 0 quantity. So no need to increase the price to keep buyers from buying there product. Buy it now button appears only when you mark quantities non zero. Simple.

For my 3 recently ended GTC listings, 2 ended and only 1 remained out of stock. I can't identify the pattern.

Those 2 ended didn't have variation.

And 1 which remained OOS had variations.

So does it mean listings those who have variations can only stay online?

Can you confirm? Your listings which ended, were they non-variation?

Hi Dear,

It is totally not working..... rubbish..

After got this mail about this features I had activated this option and result is Still now my 5 listing have deleted when quantity goes zero.

But it is very sadness that without final checkup ebay had informed all sellers about this feature. I sent mail 2 times about this problem but no one did not think to reply my mail and inform that feature not working now.

At last today I connect with Ebay representitive by phone call and they agree it is not working , moreover till date  they don't know when it would be solved..

So dear seller if you want to live your listing set item price like a abnormal figure.

It's a only solution..

Hi,

Can you confirm your listings which ended weren't multivariation? or were they?

Hi, I have just found out, after loosing the purchase history of one of my items that the out of stock option does not work if you let you item reach the the quantity of zero and then clicking relist. I have found that the method i have listed below does work for me and retains my purchase history.

1.  go to selling manager summary
2. click on 'active' on the left hand side
3. then in the 'status' drop down search boxes at the top select 'out of stock' and click search
4. find the listing and click 'REVISE'
5. change the quauntity from zero to your new quantity and click subit changes

This works for me and i'm using a basic ebay shop

no this does not works once the qty goes to 0 if buyer bought it listing is ended
