Ran out of edit time while researching.
Information
- Log in to to your eBay seller account.
- Click the Account and choose Manage my store.
- Click on Markdown manager from menu on the left.
- Click Create Sale.
- Choose your discount type.
- Choose which listing you want your promotion to apply to, and click Save & Review.
- Relists are assigned new item numbers so they will not be automatically added to a markdown event unless you set up rules (more on that below).
- You CAN add items to a markdown event mid-sale.
- When you go to Edit the event in promotions manager you will see something that looks like this:
- Click the "Add" hyperlink next to where it says the number of items selected. From there you will be able to select additional items for your markdown.
- Keep in mind that the listing will have to index before you are able to select it for addition to your markdown event.
Going forward, if you are going to mark down every item in one (or more) of your store categories, the best way to go about it is to set up rules rather than selecting items individually... it's much more efficient.
- On the first screen you will "Set Discount"
- On the second screen you will see this page:
- Click the button on the right to create rules.
- On the next page you will be able to select entire categories. You will also have the ability to set up exclusions if there are any items in those categories that you don't want to include, and you can set filters to only markdown items in a certain price range.
- Doing it this way means that any time you newly list or relist items that are part of the (store or eBay) category selected, they will automatically be added to the sale. They need to index on the site first, then index again within the markdown. I've never seen it take longer than 24 hours.
- It's more efficient and doesn't require the maintenance that you're currently dealing with having added items one by one.
