Stock Management / Inventory Management

The process of tracking what items you hold, where they are listed, their purchase cost, and their listing status. At small scale, a spreadsheet per category works well. At 100+ active listings, dedicated inventory management software (Linnworks, Sellbrite, or the inventory features in crosslisting tools) prevents double-selling and simplifies EOFY cost-of-goods calculations. Stock management also involves physically organising your inventory so items can be found and dispatched quickly.
