Seller automation rules
Give sellers a reviewable place to set rules for relisting, price changes, offers, inventory alerts, auction closeout, hub routing, and manual approval before actions affect buyers.
Inventory rule preview
Low stock alert | returned item hold | relist review required
Price guardrail
Sold comps changed | floor price protected | seller review open
Offer handling
Auto-accept threshold | counter limit | proof request attached
Hub routing
High-value item | local proof needed | counter intake suggested
Relist Rules
- Relist rules show which sold, expired, cancelled, or returned items can return to buyer view.
- Rules keep proof refresh, condition check, price floor, auction format, and seller approval close together.
- Returned or disputed items stay blocked until the seller or support review path is complete.
Price Guardrails
- Sellers can preview price floors, maximum markdowns, sold-comparison ranges, offer thresholds, and reserve limits.
- High-value, hub-checked, or active-bid items require confirmation before price or reserve changes are shown to buyers.
- Price changes should show expected listing impact, buyer notice state, and rollback note.
Offer Handling
- Offer rules separate auto-decline, review, counter, and accept-ready ranges.
- Accepted-offer review keeps item proof, quantity state, pickup choice, seller terms, and cart review boundary visible.
- Rules stop when an item has an active dispute, pending pickup, reserved quantity, or proof mismatch.
Inventory Alerts
- Inventory alerts show low quantity, draft repair, missing proof, hub intake delay, returned item state, and stale listing age.
- Seller teams need role-based approval before bulk quantity changes, destructive edits, or high-value relists.
- Alerts should open the exact seller tool needed: inventory center, listing studio, catalog quality, or hub item checks.
Auction Closeout
- Auction closeout rules show reserve result, winning bidder state, payment readiness, pickup window, seller packing task, and cancellation risk.
- Closeout can suggest relist, second-chance offer, price change, or hub pickup review without hiding seller approval.
- Bid issue, reserve, report, or support hold states block automatic relist or checkout prompts.
Hub Routing
- Hub routing rules flag high-value, fragile, bulky, certificate-heavy, local pickup, and proof-light items for counter review.
- Routing should show expected intake needs, accepted category, service timing, seller fee preview, and release owner.
- Rejected hub routing creates a repair path instead of removing the item from the seller view.
Manual Review
- Manual review is required for sensitive categories, major price changes, repeated reports, seller-limit changes, and finance-impacting actions.
- Review cards show reason, affected listings, customer visibility, owner, due date, and next available seller action.
- Rules should support sellers without replacing human review where trust, safety, or money movement is involved.
Owner Approval
- Owner approval covers rule names, seller permissions, buyer-facing effects, support holds, finance impact, and rollback controls.
- Launch review should confirm seller automation rules match inventory, analytics, offer handling, auctions, hub routing, and staff queues.
- This route is review evidence only and does not change live listings.

Seller automation rules are shown as reviewable controls.
The demo shows relist rules, price guardrails, offer handling, inventory alerts, auction closeout, hub routing, manual review, and owner approval without changing live listings.
Future platform state
Live seller rules need connected marketplace services.
Launch needs persistent rule storage, seller permissions, event logs, inventory updates, notifications, finance-safe holds, support review, and rollback controls.
