Could you tell me why the two following auction items (which did not sell and are listed on my unsold items page) did not get transfered to inventory? All others, save these two, are in inventory just fine:
Old Child's handkerchief-baby belle in blue
1940 Hershey's chocolate recipe booklet
How can I get them into inventory? I've never done it "manually" before.
Are you saying you listed these via inventory in the first place, and the quantity has not gone back up yet now that they have closed without a winning bidder?
If so, give them a little time and the system will pick up the total for you and up your quantity available in inventory again.

No Christopher. What I mean is, I have the option selected to "add all items listed using AM pro to inventory". For some reason, these two items above, which WERE created and listed using AMP, did not get added to my inventory data base.
I woud like to relist them at a later date from inventory, but they aren't there now.

Hi Jaymark9,
If they are still not in inventory, what you can do is hit "Copy" for each of those two so that a copy goes to pending. Then for each one, edit the item and select the "Save item to inventory" then hit the Save button. A copy will be placed in inventory and you can delete the ones that were in pending.

Hi Jaymark9,
Your listings "Old Child's handkerchief-baby belle in blue" and "940 Hershey's chocolate recipe booklet" are now in your inventory.
They were closed auctions, so the right process would have been:
1. Go to closed auctions, select the item.
2. Hit Relist, and schedule sometime in the future.
3. Go to pending, select the scheduled auction and hit Cancel (cancel schedule).
4. Edit the pending auction and check the save to inventory button.
Unfortunately, this way your listing goes to the Unfilled inventory folder, which is somewhat overloaded (5500+ listing in your case), and the search for a listing is difficult.
Also note that you have to edit the inventory item in order to increase the inventory quantity in order to launch.
Actually the process you describe is the process I used to try to get them into inventory. Perhaps I didn't wait long enough for the transfer from pending to inventory to take place? As long as they are there, that's what counts.
Speaking of the large number of inventory items I have. It would be helpful if there were a way to only input to inventory those items which do NOT sell. I only use inventory to relist items I still have (obviously!) but the way I understand the set up, the "Add Item to Inventory" happens at launch time? So I accumulate tons of stuff in my inventory which I don't need (and no longer even HAVE). Unless you have lots and lots of the exact same item, I don't really understand how sellers use the inventory effectively.
