two numbers for size of inventory?

[keziak]

In the Hub it says under active listings "result: 1741". but it also says "qty: 1771". 

I would think that means I have 30 duplicate listings but I'm dead sure I do not. There was a thread here about "ghost" listings. I wonder if that explains this? Any ideas?

If you have an item that has more than one in quantity, that would be the extra listings.  The 1741 is the number of listings and the 1771 is how many total items you have for sale.

@keziak That should mean you have some multi-quantity listings. Ghost listings would not reflect in either number in my experience.

These numbers rarely match, as eBay has trouble counting stuff.  I'm pretty sure this is due to an annual increase in system activity experienced during this period, which has caused processing delays.

[keziak]

As I said I would bet money that I only have a few/handful of duplicate/multi-quantity titles. Not 30. 

[jonathanbrightlight]

Well, you said “duplicate”, I didn’t think you meant multi-quantity listings. It should be quick to sort your listings by quantity and see how many you have.

Sometimes it can be the timing of items ending and then coming back on line again as it renews.

Most of the time it is for multiple items in a listing (4 available of a certain book for example).

@keziak 

It's showing me you have 1,712 listings.

I looked a few minutes ago (less than 15 minutes after you posted) and it says 1,712 items.

I have around 850 listings, quantity of ~1500, due to some items having multiples.  I use OOS, so a buyer would see that I have ~650 listings, as 200 of my items have a quantity of zero.  All normal to have those numbers not match.

[keziak]

great, a third number.

[keziak]

that's not what it says in my Hub.

[keziak]

thanks for the tip, I did that. Way more listings with 2 copies than I thought. I guess it's time to print those out and check my inventory.

[keziak]

I looked again and one explanation is how many woodworking DVDs I have in quantity of 2. I pretty much forgot that.

You don't need to bet money, or wonder, or guess.  

You can simply  go to your active listings in your seller hub, and sort by "Quantity".
