The '''Manage inventory''' section of the Marketplace makes it easy to edit your item listings one at a time or in bulk.
 
== How do I get to "Manage inventory"? ==
 
# After logging in to the Marketplace, choose '''My Marketplace''' > '''Merchant home''' in the upper-right.
# On the left-hand side, choose '''Manage inventory'''.
 
== What does '''Sync Marketplace with Magic Boxes''' do? ==
 
If you've added objects to the content of an inworld Magic Box, yet the expected listing isn't showing up here, click the '''Sync Marketplace with Magic Boxes''' button to refresh.
 
{{KBnote|Eventually, Magic Boxes will be obsolete.}}
 
== What's the difference between '''Listed'''/'''Unlisted'''/'''Unavailable'''? ==
 
* '''Listed''' - The "normal", active status of an item being publicly visible and available for purchase on the Marketplace.
** Exception: limited-quantity items stay '''Listed''' after they've sold out, but can't be purchased.
* '''Unlisted''' - An item is inactive: intentionally hidden and can't be purchased. Examples why you might unlist a product:
** You're permanently discontinuing the product, but want to keep the item listing info around for personal records.
** The product is meant to be sold for a limited span of time (like holiday and seasonal items), and will be temporarily unlisted until the next time an appropriate event comes around.
** You've discovered serious bugs in your product and don't want customers to suffer that known pain, so you make an announcement on your Marketplace store (and/or other presence like a blog) and temporarily unlist the product, so you can focus on a fix.
* '''Unavailable''' - Several reasons, including:
** Freshly-added items with incomplete listings show up here. You need to '''Edit''' each one and fill in at least the required fields to '''List''' those items.
** If an item violates the Marketplace Terms of Service {{red|1=final link pending, for now [https://www.xstreetsl.com/tos.php?lang=en see the older Xstreet ToS]}}, Linden Lab may move it here.
 
== How do I manage items in bulk? ==
 
{{red|There are known bugs with listings not updating as expected.}}
 
# Check the boxes in the leftmost column that correspond to the items you want to edit, or check the top box to check them all.
#* If you have a big inventory and want to view/select more items at once, change '''Items per page''' above to a higher number, like '''100'''.
# Below, next to '''Modify selected items''', choose an option from the dropdown ('''List''', '''Unlist''', or '''Edit''') and click '''Go'''. The page refreshes with a confirmation message.
 
== What do I need to know if I choose '''Edit'''? ==
 
For each field you want to bulk-edit for multiple items — and ''replace'' the previous contents of — you ''need'' to check its corresponding box on the left. Be sure you want to overwrite the old info.
 
Choosing '''Edit''' for multiple items is a useful way to standardize fields that are the same. For example, if you're selling colored variations of hair, most of the info will be identical. Or you might have a standard blurb that you use across multiple products, before going in to add specific details to each listing as-desired.
