# How to manage inventory on Palmstreet
To better support all sales styles, we’ve upgraded our inventory management system so listings are easier to manage, stay synced automatically, and work across all channels.
This guide explains how inventory behaves across Marketplace (Shop), LIVE, and Purge.
**Key Features**
* **One inventory system for ALL sales channels**\
Your listings stay connected across Marketplace, LIVE shows, and Purges.\
(Some listing types may have different availability. See [FAQ for details](https://help.palmstreet.app/seller/listing-management/how-to-manage-inventory-on-palmstreet#do-all-listings-stay-connected-across-marketplace-live-shows-and-purges).)
* **Inventory stays in sync everywhere**\
When an item sells in one channel, its quantity updates across all others.
* **Listings can be reused anytime**\
Listings created in Marketplace, LIVE Shows, or Purges can be used again in future events — no manual exporting or recreating is needed.
### How Inventory Works Now
#### **1. Before Selling (Preparing Inventory)**
You can add inventory by:
* Creating listings on Marketplace
* Creating listings directly during LIVE shows
All listings you create will appear in **My Listings**.
If you prefer working on desktop, you can also manage listings in [**Seller Hub**](https://seller.palmstreet.app/), including creating listings or uploading inventory in bulk using a CSV file. *(*See how: [How to upload listings with CSV import](/seller/listing-management/how-to-upload-listings-with-csv-import.md)*)*
#### **2. During LIVE Shows**
During your events, you can:
* Create new listings on the spot
* Import your Marketplace items
When you import a Marketplace item into a LIVE show, both channels share the same inventory. This means you can sell the same item in your Shop and during LIVE at the same time. If it sells in either place, the quantity updates everywhere automatically.
This allows you to promote products across multiple channels without duplicating listings or updating inventory manually.
#### **3. After Your Sale**
Once your LIVE Show or Purge ends, you can:
* Review which items sold
* Reuse unsold items in your next LIVE show or Purge
* Make LIVE or Purge listings visible in your Shop by setting them to **public**
Listings created during LIVE shows or Purges are **private by default**, so they will only appear in your Shop if you change the visibility to **public** in **My Listings**. This helps keep your Shop organized while still giving you flexibility to reuse listings across different channels.
### Manage Your Inventory
* **Desktop:** [Seller Hub](https://seller.palmstreet.app/) → **Listing**
* **Mobile:** Palmstreet app → Profile → **My Listings**
### **FAQ**
What’s the difference compared to before?
**Previously:**
* Listings had to be created separately for each channel
* The same item often needed to be recreated multiple times
* Listings had to be manually exported to the Shop
* Listings couldn’t be reused across Marketplace, LIVE, or Purge
**Now:**
* All channels use a **unified listing system**
* Inventory **syncs automatically** across Marketplace, LIVE, and Purge
* Listings sync to your Shop automatically — no manual exporting needed
* Many listings can be **reused across channels**, reducing manual work
Why are there so many listings showing up in My Listing?
Palmstreet now uses a unified inventory system, so listings you created in recent LIVE shows or Purges (within the past one month), along with Marketplace listings, may appear together in My Listings. This is normal and helps you manage inventory in one place.
If there are listings you no longer need, you can bulk delete them in **My Listings**.
Do all listings stay connected across Marketplace, LIVE shows, and Purges?
It depends on the listing type:
* **Buy Now listings** share inventory across Marketplace (Shop), LIVE shows, and Purges.
* **Auction listings** can be reused in future LIVE shows only. They cannot be sold in the Shop or in Purges.
* **Giveaway listings** are not included in the shared inventory system and cannot be reused.
Can I reuse listings?
It depends on the listing type:
* **Buy Now listings** can be reused across Marketplace (Shop), LIVE shows, or Purges.
* **Auction listings** can be reused in future LIVE shows only.
* **Giveaway listings** cannot be reused.
Can I sell my LIVE listings in my Shop?
Yes. **Buy Now listings** created during LIVE or Purge are private by default. Set the listing’s visibility to Public in My Listings, and they will appear in your Shop.
However, **Auction listings** cannot be sold in your Shop. They can only be reused in future LIVE shows. *(Purge does not support auction sales.)*
**Giveaway listings** cannot be sold in your Shop and cannot be reused.
