Setting items to reserve status

If items are set to ‘Reserved’ status does that [URL removed]
- item listings are still in your booth/store but are ‘Inactive’?
- buyers can’t see the listings and thus cannot purchase?

Hi iPovePou

Yes that’s exactly what it means. Only you can see your reserved items. Buyers cannot see or purchase an item that you have on reserve. Putting an item on reserve allows you to save the listing either until you have more of the item in stock or to edit any part of the listed items details. You can make it active at anytime by using your batch editor, you have to go to the batch editor to find your reserved items as well. You would have to set its’ status to for sale to make your edits and changes or make your changes and then set it to reserved.

To find the Batch Editor, hover over the Selling at the top of your page, click Batch Edit Items on the pull down menu. To Set Reserve status on more than one item, select Item Basics, then select Set Status Pull down menu there you can select Reserved or For Sale Select the items in your booth that you want to be Reserved and then click apply changes.

To find your reserved items, don’t click anything in the upper part of the editor, go down to add new filter link, click on the link and another menu will come up, Go to Status is default is Anything click that pull down menu and there are many options to pick from, the one you want to find your reserved items is Reserved.

The directions make it sound much more difficult than it actually is, :) but you’ll see once you go to the batch editor it’s really simple.

Hope this answers your question.
