Batch editing prices on items by % and changing discount on imported items.

I set up my booth to import my ebay items and I chose to have the price discounted -1%. I would now like to change this setting for future imports and change the items I have already imported. What is the best way to do this?

Beyond this, I might consider actually increasing my prices over my ebay pricing to pay for additional advertising. Is there a way to batch edit my prices by a set percentage?

Batch Edit
Item Basics
over to the right of the box

Apply Discount

This is for discount

To change prices by a certain percentage
Update Items as a Group (Batch edit)
Item Basics
The box at top…over to the right

Select
Apply [URL removed] %
Fill in discount
Select Items
Select Apply to Items

Reversing the discount [URL removed] (this could also be used to increase prices by a percentage)

percentage_to_change_by = (desired_price – current_price)/current_price

In the case of making a $9 become $10 again,

percentage_to_change_by = ($10 – $9)/$9 = 1/9 = 11.1%.

Put in -11.1% in the apply discount box

Always test your figures on a few or one item to be sure it is doing what you want it to do
