Hi all,

BUMP

I've posted before with similar problems pertaining to this but at this point
it's driving me crazy.

The main issue is when I add/increase an item that is already in my inventory.
When I get to the INVENTORY VERIFY page, it asks if I want to add to existing
inventory or list item as a new lot. When adding to existing inventory, those
items are not put in the notify queue. If I want notifications sent I must list
them as a new lot which more often than not I don't want to do.

I also add to my inventory directly from the INVENTORY DETAIL page. Again notifications
cannot be sent out.

A lot of people specify a certain quantity of an item when they put it on their
wanted lists (myself included). Let's say the initial listing is less than a
buyer requires - they are not notified. If, however I add more of an item and
it is now in a quantity that the member wants there is no mechanism to notify
them.

Just the other day I was checking an item that has been on my wanted list for
quite some time. OMG - the fairly large quantity I was looking for had appeared!
Even though I opted for e-mail notification, I received none. The problem -
the seller did not chose to notify. Sadly, someone had purchased all the items.
Oh well, I guess surfing is the only sure way to see if my wants are available.

I propose there be an option to notify (or place it in the queue) on both the
Inventory Verify and Inventory Detail pages and let the seller designate them
as default settings if they so desire. Many have argued that they get "too many
annoying e-mails". The buyer, not the seller has control of this simply by un-checking
the "notify me by e-mail" option when making their wanted lists.

OK - enough verbosity (pause, heavy sigh, end of rant).

Hi Lainee,

If I am right, because I have noticed the same thing, however, IF I were to put
the item being updated, into my Stock room, and then take it out, it gets notified?...

Are notifications send out if you add a new lot, but with manually adjusted quantity

Yes notifications can be sent out if you add a new lot, but not when you increase
the quantity (by any method).
