Example: your ebay price without discount is 200€ and discount percentage is 10%. Then the customer can purchase your product for 180€, product price before discount is 200€.
Out-of-Stock Feature
If you're selling multiple identical items in a single fixed-price listing with Good 'Til Cancelled as the listing duration, you can select the out-of-stock option.
When you enable the out-of-stock option:
- All of your existing and future Good 'Til Cancelled listings use the out-of-stock option until you disable the option.
- When the quantity of the listing becomes 0, your listing stays active, but is hidden from search results. The quantity in the listing can become 0 either through buyer purchases or you can revise the listing and set the quantity to 0.
- When you increase the quantity of items available, the listing is eligible again to appear in search results.
- If you change the duration of your listing to anything other than Good 'Til Cancelled, the listing is no longer out-of-stock enabled and ends when the quantity becomes 0.
- You can still end your Good 'Til Cancelled listing yourself at any time.
