These are planning aids built on the numbers you type in. They are estimates, not forecasts, and they know nothing about your supplier, carrier or marketplace beyond what you enter.

Using it

  1. 1

    Enter the limit

    The maximum number of listings your plan allows for the store.

  2. 2

    Enter today's count

    Listings currently counted against that limit.

  3. 3

    Enter your weekly pace

    How many listings you add in a typical week, and how many you retire.

  4. 4

    Plan the next step

    If the runway is short, slow down additions, clear dead listings, or move up before you hit the wall.

The arithmetic

formula

1free slots = plan limit - current listings

2net growth = added per week - removed per week

3weeks to full = free slots ÷ net growth

Sample run: A 5,000 limit with 3,200 listings, 250 added and 50 removed each week: 1,800 free slots, net growth 200 a week, so the plan fills in 9 weeks.
