Good afternoon, could someone tell me how I could automatically increase the
value of all my inventory by a certain percentage?
Thank you very much

1. Go to inventory
2. Select the categories you want this increase to affect..
3. Make sure "Update only items in selected above categories" selected
4. Select "Put items on sale" enter the rate of increase in negative... for %20
increase enter -20
5. Click Submit Changes

You've increased the prices using a negative sale percentage... in order
to show them natural,

Do 1/2/3 above and then,
1. Select "Make sale prices base price"
2. Click Submit Changes

Btw, if you have already sale in your inventory, you should do the last step
first to properly increase the prices.

This method works, but I'd make a couple of extra suggestions.

Add a part in a category you do not have other parts in, and price it at 100
$ / Euro/whatever.

Select only that category.

Do all the above to have a go repricing this expensive non-existing item.

Then when you understand what to do for all categories, delete the expensive
(and hopefully now repriced) item.

If you want to be ultra careful, you can also close your store while you do it.

Before doing such great changes I think it's wise to get the backup of the
inventory first. (Download function in the inventory page)

Btw, I didn't use it in large scale of my inventory, I just tested on 1 category
that contained a single item. (A gift card)

I like these kind of mathematical escape sequences Bricklink provides, if it's
logical mathematically then the interface allows it. Similar to this, you can
part out a negative quantity of a set to pull it out of your store.

Possibly for a good reason it doesn't allow quantities to be negative which
is sometimes required for lost parts. Still the interface is mostly logical and
sound.
