Hello.

I'm new to Bricklink. I added 9 thousand items and every day I want to add
more and more.
After adding these items, the following information appeared in "My Store":

"You have 1316 items in your store inventory to notify about"

Is it worth clicking and sending an email? Will it be perceived as spam by recipients?

As I mentioned, I'm new and I don't know this platform so well yet, I've
used eBay "all my life".

Thanks for the information and best regards.
Adam

Hi,

These notifications are only sent to those who asked for them: when you put an
item in a Wanted List, you need to check a box to enable notifications (or you
need to set the option to have notifications on by default).  And you only get
the notifications that match your item (shape & colour of course but also min
price and/or min quantity).

So it’s not spam.

If a buyer receives too many messages, they can adjust their settings.


That being said, don’t abuse the system.  If you delete and recreate lots instead
of updating them, the system will see them as new lots and propose to send notifications.


As for efficiency, I’ve no idea if it’s worth it or not

I'm also still fairly new but have noticed when I do notify about inventory,
I have gotten a few orders immediately after. Good Luck! 🍀

I'm counting on it too, because I want to invest every amount I earn in new
sets, until I have 500,000 bricks - I don't want to take any of this money
for myself.
Then I will be happy because empty drawers are waiting for new blocks
