how to remove "this item is out of stock" listings from my Ebay store

[raftany]

Most of my items are one of a kind.  I may never be able to restock them .After it is sold the listing remains in my store.  It is just a waste  of time for me and those who visits my store

since I got rid of store:

Not sure:

Under your my eBay under active listings is this stuff showing there??

If so end listing.

Check your Out Of Stock option and see if it's turned on.

What is the listing number? I do not see any out of stock message by looking randomly.

"Out of stock" items are not shown to anybody except the seller.

In your site preferences, you can turn off the "Out of stock" option.  Unfortunately, there's no way to select which listings it will apply to: It's all or none.  If you leave this option active, then you have to specifically end the listings for one-of-a-kind items.

if you want to prevent your listings showing up from active lists after sold, you need to turn off "Multi-quantity listings" feature.
to turn off the feature, go to your "Selling preferences" in your account, then turn off "Listings stay active when you're out of stock." watch the screenshot photo down below...

" Listing stay active....." has never been turned on and it is still off

Your listings keep showing at your store even if the quantity is (0)??

I see my listings in the store after being sold, but only if one clicks on "Sold Items."

This is normal.

but i think the OP means something else.

[kds99]

It's very mysterious.

[aqeeqsouq]

yes, it's.

In this case, it has nothing to do with MQ or the OOS option.  There have been a number of threads on this.  It's just something new or glitch that eBay is doing.   The messages started appearing a few days ago. 

I do not sell MQ (except for a handful of listings), I have NEVER had the OOS option on b/c my items are all one-offs.  I have confirmed that my OOS option is still OFF.  Yet I am seeing these too, as are many other sellers.  

The good news is that supposedly buyers are not seeing them, only the seller can see the message.   The bad news is that it's appearing in multiple places.  In fact, I went into an order to leave FB tonight & my normal link at the top to leave FB has been replaced with this OOS statement & it was a big hassle to leave FB.   Very annoying since all my listings are quantity of 1, so as soon as they sell, they are out of stock.  

No word from eBay that I've seen, if this is intentional or just the glitch-of-the-week.

Easy.

Turn off the "out of stock" option in your seller preferences.

BTW When your item is out of stock, others can't see it. Only you can.
