Click the "Inventory" link in the left-hand navigation.
The Inventory View appears.

Select Assign Automation Rules from the Action pull-down menu (on the right-hand side of the page) for the listing template of your choice.
The Assign Automation Rules page appears.
Note: To automate more than one listing at a time, select the check boxes for the products for which you want to create an automated listing. Then select Assign Automation Rules from the pull-down menu on the lower-left section of the page, and click the Select button.

Select the rule that you want to apply from the pull-down menu.
You can select one of the following rules:

• Keep a fixed number of listings active

• List according to your schedule

• Relist once if an item does not sell

• Relist in your Store if an item does not sell

• Relist continuously until an item sells

• Relist continuously whether it sells or doesn't sell

Specify your rule settings.

• If you have a large number of identical items to sell and want to avoid constantly relisting items that sell or don't sell, select the rule: Keep a fixed number of listings active.
  The settings for this rule enable you to:

  • Specify a number of identical listings (ranging from 1 to 10) that you want to keep "live" on the site. Any time a listing ends, the system automatically creates a new listing.

  • Limit the timeframe during which you want the listing to appear.
    For example, suppose that you want to keep 5 listings active and someone purchases an item using "Buy It Now" at 2 am. You can specify the time that you want a replacement listing to appear, rather than having a replacement appear immediately. This might create an interval where you have 4 active listings instead of 5; however, you gain the advantage of having more control over when your listings start and end.

  • Stagger your listings so that they do not all start and end at the same time.
    
    Note: In rare cases where you specify a delayed listing interval for a single listing that you want to keep active, the timing may result in a listing gap of 24 hours or more.

• If you selected: Disable this rule when my inventory equals < specified amount>, and there is no product or template, then one will automatically be created for you and stored in the folder named: "Created From Automation Rule".

Select the listing template for which the new automation rule applies.

Click the Assign button.
A confirmation page appears that confirms your rule has been assigned.
