False Stock status

[prakashparvath]

what is it with the false number of stock items,
for example a user(seller) publishes x number of items available and you order that particular item and seller replies he doesn't have stock and have to wait .

Interestingly the seller page for that particular item still shows that he has x number of items in stock ???

what are measures ebay takes to counter such kind of sellers ??

Good question 🙂 Interesting. But I think it is an acute problem and there is much need for measures against such a problem. After all if seller does not ship the item money of the buyer would automatically get refunded and other thing is why would seller make such false status listing if he do not want to sell a product

stock selling now a days is very fast and it on multiple channels of sale
some times what happens that the stock as listed on ebay is sold throgh some other medium of selling and buyer order comes before the seller can make adjustments in the stock items.
This is a real world.
To solve this , a inventory managemnet system is required which is not a childs play and one has to live with it
