| Hello All,
Should I be notifying members every time I add items to my inventory or does
that just create spam for people? Maybe I should just wait until I add a large
amount? 
Thanks,
AJ

If users don't like getting those emails they can always turn them off.

Users only receive notifications if they've opted in to them for specific
items on their wanted lists, so there's no reason to worry too much about
spam. It produces a report saying how many members were notified, and for my
tiny store it's almost always zero.

If you load infrequently in batches, it is often best to wait maybe a week. That
way, people actively searching can find the parts they want (plus other parts).
Then you get a second hit when you notify.
Plus, save up any small batches, it is not worth notifying a few parts.

Yes, that's what I do. To spread the orders, but also to be able to catch
it if I underpriced something. When you have a fairly big store and you notify
the world, and an item is too cheap, they will pretty much all be gone the next
day. If you don't notify, you can still adjust them as orders trickle in
slowly  Sometimes I even wait months.
But for small stores that just want orders, I'd say just go and spam the
notify button as often as you can

It's not spam. People actively choose to want those e-mails. You are doing
them a favor.
And it is always a fun game to guess how many notifications will be send. After
some years you can predict that pretty well 😅
