Create a unique listing with multiple units of the same game item using our In-Stock Listing feature. This feature allows high-volume sellers to focus on inventory and customer service without the hassle of constantly creating new listings. It also allows buyers to conveniently purchase multiple units in a single transaction.
This guide covers everything you need to know about using In-Stock Listings on Gameflip.
The Basics
What is the in-stock listing feature?
Instead of creating ten separate listings for ten identical game items, you can now create a single listing and specify your total available quantity in your inventory. As you sell these game items, your stock count decreases automatically until it reaches zero. Buyers can also specify the exact quantity they wish to purchase.
What types of items are eligible for stock-based listings?
This feature is currently designed for game items such as skins, pets, materials, in-game currency (game coins), and other assets that can be traded through a coordinated transfer.
Why should I use this feature instead of individual listings?
Efficiency, plain and simple. You can sell multiple units in one transaction, keep your shop profile clean, provide a better buyer experience, and save time by avoiding manual relisting after every sale.
Because the stock-based listings stick around for multiple purchases, they will be suggested to more buyers by our recommendation engine, making them more discoverable by prospective buyers.
How It Works
How do I create a Stock-based Listing?
Click on "I have something to sell" as you normally would.
Select the "Game Item" you'd like to sell.
After you choose the "Game" and "Category", you'll be prompted to add your listing's details.
Under the Delivery section, you'll find the "Available Quantity" option. Click the "Enable Available Quantity" button and click "Confirm".
Enter the total number of items available in your stock. Note: While your listing is still in "Draft" status, you can click Disable Quantity at any time to revert back to a traditional single-item listing.
Hit Done to save or list it on sale.
Can I edit my listing after it goes live?
Once published, a listing's description and item details cannot be modified (this preserves transaction information for past buyers). However, you can still restock, update pricing, adjust delivery times, or add new images.
Can I add more or remove stock to an existing listing?
Absolutely. You can click Edit to increase or decrease the number of items available without losing your sales history or customer reviews for that specific item. You can also quickly restock from the Listings screen.
Managing Your Sales
What happens when I run out of stock?
Once the quantity hits zero, the listing will remain publicly visible but appear as "Out of Stock." The listing "On Sale" status will stay active unless you change it. As soon as you get more inventory, simply restock the existing listing.
Are there different fees for the in-stock listing feature?
No, the fee structure remains the same per item sold. Although stock-based listings appear as a single listing, each purchase generates individual transactions with the same fee structure.
Will buyers see how many items I have left?
Yes. A stock indicator will appear directly below the listing price. Showing low stock can create a sense of urgency among buyers when they see how many items are available.
Why are In-Stock Listings better for long-term growth?
Using Stock-based Listings for your popular items helps build strong "social proof." A single listing with 50+ completed sales looks much more trustworthy to a new buyer than 50 separate listings with 1 sale each. Additionally, Gameflip's recommendation engine prioritizes In-Stock Listings when suggesting items to buyers across the platform.
