What application or program do some sellers use to maintain and automate their thousands of listings on Adult DVD Marketplace. For example if a mega seller and I have the same title listed and I lower my price withing a minute or so the mega seller is able to lower their price as well and if I seem to lower my price too much then the mega seller's listing disappears only to reappear minutes later if I in turn raise my price. TIA.

I'm not a seller but I would guess that ADM has a program available that will notify the seller of a change in price. The actions you describe could be entirely automated using such a system. I expect ADM charged for the service, though.

ADM does do that but only several times a day. What I am looking for is I believe a 3rd party program that does it automatically. I can not imagine a mega seller with thousands and thousands of listings slogging through notices and as I mentioned the mega seller's changes happen almost instantaneously.

I can't imagine it, either, but if ADM is providing the feed then I can imagine that they don't want every seller eating up bandwidth and CPU cycles in order to get and make constant updates. Ergo, it might be a service that they only provide to sellers with a lot of titles on offer. You'll have to ask them.

They have the technical capability to completely automate this kind of thing. The interesting thing is that you have stumbled on the pricing scheme. A smart competitor would be able to knock someone else off of ADM using a system like this if they automatically remove their listings.

Who are you saying has the ability to do this? ADM or some mega sellers. These are sellers who are doing this and I may be wrong but I do not believe that they are doing it with ADM's knowledge. And as I stated once I get to a low enough price the competitors listing does in fact disappear and only reappears when I in turn raise my price.
