Hi everyone... this is Subha Shetty from the Buyer Experience team.
For multi-quantity listings, both research and the input we've received from sellers indicate that buyers tend to purchase less often when they see a large quantity of items available. This is most likely because they feel a lack of urgency to purchase, or they perceive that the item isn’t selling well.
For this reason, we're changing the quantity displayed on multi-quantity listings that have more than 10 items for sale. Instead of displaying the actual quantity, such as "83 available," we're now displaying "more than 10 available."
Sincerely,
Subha Shetty
Buyer Experience Team
