Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

What is the DropFlow Price Tracker panel in Seller Hub?

The DropFlow panel is a floating box that DropFlowLister adds to your eBay Seller Hub → Listings → Active page. Its Price Tracker checks each listing's supplier product and edits the price and quantity right in Seller Hub, and its Purger ends low-performing listings.

What's the difference between a price run and Autorun in the Seller Hub Price Tracker?

With Auto run mode off, ▶ Start checks the listings on your current page. With it on, ▶ Start Autorun moves through every page, then loops back to page 1 and starts a new lap until you stop it.

Can the Seller Hub Price Tracker run in a background or minimized window?

The Price Tracker now runs in the Seller Hub tab where you click Start, and it plays a silent sound so Chrome doesn't slow that tab down. Keep the tab open, and keep the tab visible. Don't minimize the window while it runs.

How do markup, per-supplier margins, and cost bands work in the Seller Hub Price Tracker?

Markup % (default 100) applies to all items. Under Variation settings, Supplier Variation Pricing sets a markup for Amazon, AliExpress, or Walmart, and Variable Pricing by Range sets a markup by supplier cost band. A matching cost band overrides both other markups.

What do "Restock qty" and "Sync in-stock qty" do in the Seller Hub Price Tracker?

Restock qty (1 to 10, default 1) is the quantity a listing gets when its supplier item is back in stock. Sync in-stock qty also moves listings that are already in stock to that same quantity. Out-of-stock and low-stock listings always go to 0 either way.

What do "Track price" and "Track stock" do in the Seller Hub Price Tracker?

Track price lets the tracker change your prices, and Track stock lets it change quantities. If you turn one off, the tracker still reads the supplier but doesn't change that field.

Why does the Seller Hub Price Tracker say "AT COST" or "BELOW COST — price NOT changed"?

The new price would equal or be below the supplier cost, so the tracker leaves your price alone to avoid selling at a loss. Check your Markup % and cost bands.

Why did the Seller Hub Price Tracker block a price drop?

The new price was more than your Max Price Drop % (default 30) below the current price. The tracker leaves the price alone and flags the row so you can check the supplier page. Set the limit to 100 to turn this guard off.

How do I view or export the Seller Hub Price Tracker change log?

Click 📋 Log in the panel. Click ⭳ Export CSV to save the log as a file (up to 100,000 entries, newest first), or 🗑 Clear All Logs to delete it. The log is stored only in your browser and is never uploaded.

What does "Purge Listings" do in Seller Hub, and what are its criteria?

Purge Listings ends active eBay listings that match all the rules you set: Max Sold (default 0), Max Views (default 100), and Min Days Listed (default 30). It sorts listings oldest first and ends matches page by page. Ended listings are not relisted.

Why does the Purger say "Set at least one criteria first"?

All three Purger fields are blank, so it doesn't know what to end. Fill in at least one of Max Sold, Max Views, or Min Days Listed.

What should I do when the Purger says "Could not select listings — try scrolling" or "Aborted"?

The Purger stopped because eBay's page didn't respond as expected. Refresh the page, scroll so the full table loads, check which listings already ended, and click Purge Listings again.

What happens during a "Source soft-ban cool-down" in the Seller Hub Price Tracker?

The supplier started blocking checks, so the tracker pauses and shows how many minutes are left. It then tests the supplier and continues on its own. This limit comes from the supplier, not from DropFlowLister.

How is the Seller Hub Price Tracker different from Flow Tracker?

The Seller Hub Price Tracker edits listings one by one inside Seller Hub and needs no file. Flow Tracker scans a CSV of all your listings in its own page and updates eBay with one bulk upload. Use Flow Tracker for large stores and the Seller Hub Price Tracker for small ones. The website calls the Seller Hub Price Tracker the eBay Simple Tracker and Flow Tracker the CSV Flow Tracker. Both use your markup on current supplier prices. In the extension, Purge Listings is part of the Seller Hub Price Tracker.
