I've spent the last week playing around with the inventory function, and scheduling auctions from inventory.
I don't find it very efficient. Unless you go to the trouble of assiging an SKU number to each item, it's very difficult to find one item if you have hundreds or thousands of items in inventory.
Items get added to the inventory when launched, and stay there until deleted. I would like to be able to automaticaly delete those items which sell...I only want my inventory to contain items I have on hand(which would be the unsold items).
Since eBay generates a unique item number for each item launched, I spent several hours searching, then cutting and pasting the eBay item number into the SKU spot for my inventory items. Now I can easily find what I want by using the eBay number...but this cutting and pasting is quite time consuming, It would be nice to be able to import the eBay (or other auction ID numbers) into inventory as the SKU.
Am I just tyring to make the inventory work in a way it was not designed for??? Any help, suggestions appreciated.

I use it all the time. I have around 100 items in inventory, and the thumbnail pictures help keep everything straight. I only put items into inventory if they do not sell, or if I have more then one to sell.
What is the easiest way to get only items that don't sell into inventory?? I currently put all items that LIST into inventory using that available option. Do you have to do them manually one-at-a-time?? It would be great to have an option to only add those items that did not sell to the inventory.
