Item Analysis

The Items Analysis tool provides a performance overview of your inventory items. Use it to evaluate what’s selling well and what’s not and to help guide pricing, stock, and promotional decisions. Items Analysis is available in the Enterprise Edition and higher.

 

To view the Item Analysis:

1. Go to the Sell Items mode.

2. Click the Analysis button on the ribbon bar.

3. Select Items Analysis from the dropdown menu.

 

Working with the Item Analysis Grid:

In the upper-left corner of the Item Analysis grid, use the Source setting to define which data you want to analyze. If you choose Date Range, the default is the last 30 days, but that can be customized. You can also analyze specific listings by highlighting them in the Sell Items grid, then opening the Item Analysis window and setting the Source to Selected Items. If you want to evaluate everything in your database, switch the Source to All Items.

 

The Item Analysis grid includes a number of predefined views designed to help sellers quickly evaluate their inventory's performance. These views are accessible through the Views drop-down located on the upper right corner above the grid. Each predefined view offers a different lens for analyzing your items. Some focus on sales volume, profitability, or sell-through rates, while others help identify items with low activity or aging inventory. These can be a great starting point for making pricing decisions or deciding which items to restock or discontinue.
