Latest Lists

Can you have multiple fixed price listings for the same item on eBay that share one available quantity figure?

Hi. I have been selling automotive performance parts on eBay Motors for the last few months. I stock about 35 retail items and use fixed price listings. In some cases I find it necessary to have 2-3 listings for the same item to cover the different title variations that shoppers may search. Because these listings are all for the same item (which I stock) I have to divide my available quantity amongst these listings when I post them. The problem is some listings sell out before others and then I have to manually adjust the quantities on active listings before re-listing the ones that have ended. It's very inefficient. So, my question is this: Is there some way that multiple listings that are for the same item can share one available quantity figure. So that if I have 5 of an item in stock and 2 listings for it, when 1 item sells off either listing then both listings change to reflect the new available quantity (4). If eBay doesn't offer this is there some third party program that does? I've been using eBay Selling Manager Pro to manage my inventory levels and listing templates. It's been OK, and it has some useful features for a low volume seller (I do about 80 sales a month), but I'm expanding pretty quickly. Soon I'm going to need better inventory management, listing management, shipping, and possibly even accounting software. Any advice you may have on this would be very helpful. Thanks!
