Inventory display

[penn1728]

I love a lot of things about ebay, but I am frustrated by their inventory presentation.  Is there any way to have the items show by date (like most recent to least recent).  Also, according to price.  Inventory presentation is one of the very few things Amazon does well, and it is easy to zip through and make changes on the platform, but I am stymied by Ebay's system.  I sell used books, usually one copy at a time.  Thanks for any advice.

I do not understand. Please explain.

Ebay keeps track of my inventory just fine ... with the exception of a cancelled order, which I have to manually put the item back in stock.

On what screen are you that this is an issue.

Yes, you can sort by date posted, price, date sold, and other parameters on your both your seller hub active page and your seller hub items sold page.

Or are you talking about the results page on an eBay search for specific items.

Clarify your question and we are here to help.

I sell on Amazon too, I find Ebay much more flexible than they are.

Have you ever looked into using the Seller Hub.  It is full of information and things to help you.  If you aren't use to it, it will be a bit overwhelming at first because of the volume of information that is available at your fingertips.  

Go to your Listing Tile and then to your Active Listings.  Most of the columns you can click on and sort the listings in different fashions.  So don't get frustrated, but play with it a bit.

You can Search by Newly Listed or by About to Close on your own account by going to it as a customer and choosing those Searches in the drop down menu.

Or you can Search your Active Listings by Time Left (either newly listed or about to close but they are arrows).

When you have been listing for more  than a month of course, your items will not be in order of listing, since those will be constantly overlapping.

But.

You can go to your Active Listings and add the listing date as a Note on each one.

I've been doing this, along with Notes about Best Offers , Promoted Listings, postal strikes, relisting after stamp shows, and other random information.

After about a year of doing this, more than 90% of my listings have some sort of dated note.

When we had a store our eBay listings had an in-house inventory number which included a date code in the title.

Active Listings also allows you to list by Highest or Lowest Price. 

Or alphabetically which could be useful if your titles were Author's Last Name then title, rather than the standard form eBay uses. 

Asimov, Isaac hc/dj FOUNDATION TWO 

for example.

This  1969 Rolling Stones song  title from way back when I was 25, sums it up  - just play by eBay's rules kick back and relax.

eBay  has a  link  titled "Tell us what you think"  Submit you issue to them for  consideration and what benefit(s) would it would  bring to eBay buyers & sellers.

The discussion board is simply made up  of eBay  member sellers/buyers.  eBay is  the  land lord we  al pay rent to when we sell or select  certain optional features. - like stores, etc

Listings>Click on Current price which then you can sort by highest price and lowest price. As far as by dates the only thing that Ebay allows to go (newest to oldest) is "Time left."  Use the scroll and you can see the Time left tab. Click that. To get newest and oldest listings which were relisted the past 30 days....Now if you are referring to actual "date listed" then NO. Ebay doesn't have a feature to review newest to oldest listing dates. The tab is only gives you the relisting date within the last 30 days. So if you listed an item say 1 year ago and it's still on the market the system wouldn't acknowledge that as the oldest listing cause it was relisted after 30 days and it could have been relisted say 1 week ago. Current relisted only. If this is what you are talking about though.
