2) AppEagle Available on eBay SM Apps
By Ina Steiner
AppEagle is a tool for eBay sellers that will automatically revise, end and relist your listings based on the rules that you set. The program is available through eBay Selling Manager (see AuctionBytes explanation of eBay SMApps). A company spokesperson said, "Very basically, the app takes a sellers inventory, matches it to listings and adjusts the live quantity on eBay as inventory changes. This allows a seller to easily split their inventory among marketplaces or ensure that all of their inventory is always available for sale. There are several different rules a seller can set as to how the quantity is managed. The app will also end listings when inventory runs out and optionally relist a listing when inventory increases from 0." Link to website
