can ebay reduce price for me periodically and alert all lookers?

Hello,

not sure of the question, are you asking if you can run markdown sales? 

Visit the Marketing tab in the seller hub and there you can create markdown sales and schedule them

You can try the "send offer to watchers" feature.

That sends a discounted price to interested parties.

It has an option to "automatically send offers."

Probably.

I've been watching one item for a few months now and it regularly switches between full price and 50% off. I'm pretty sure the seller has some sort of setting in the listing that makes these reductions for him/her. 

Gotta admire their persistence, though. They continue trying for that full price, even after months of no takers at half off. It's either they're persistent, or they just aren't paying attention to their promos.

Hi @jgd1049 ,

You will be better served if  you price your items competitively at the outset and then wait for them to sell to an interested party.  Many Promotions and other features eBay offers drive prices down thus reducing profit margins.

If you research items ahead of time you may find some things just don't sell well.

Here is what I do for virtually everything I sell, Sold search.  You can see how other Sellers list, describe, illustrate and ultimately sell like items.

SOLD SEARCH

You are asking the right question when it comes to listing your items for sale.  Sellers need to research what things actually sold for as a guideline for how they price their items.  You can do that on eBay by typing the name of the item in the Search window then clicking search.

The list that is returned will be current listings and what people are asking for their items.  Next, look over in the left gutter and scroll down to the Sold filter box and check it.  The list of items from search will now update to what they actually sold for in the last 90 days.  You will notice the prices are green and any with a strike through line means they were sold as the result of a Best Offer.  In this case the actual selling price is unknown but lower than the displayed price.

When it comes to collectibles keep in mind that the sold search is just a guideline and you should not be afraid to price your item higher if you consider your item is in better condition than the ones you see on the list.

I have often found that if an item does not sell, raising the price usually made it sell. Its a valid sales methodology.

Seems like the OP wants to know if he can ask eBay to reduce his price periodically and notify watchers of the reduction.

OP:  The answer to that is "no".  You will have to handle that yourself.

I'm not suggesting anyone uses this feature but for those that want to

it's supposed to be available on the quick listing tool.

Basically you would set your starting price and then you would set the

lowest price that eBay is not supposed to go below.
