The Death Pile is a group of items that have been in your inventory (unlisted) for more than 30 days. These items need attention because they're tying up money without earning anything.
How Items End Up in the Death Pile
Any item with Unlisted status that hasn't been listed for sale within 30 days of being added automatically appears in the Death Pile. Once you list the item, it leaves the Death Pile.
Viewing Your Death Pile
Tap the Death Pile counter on the Home dashboard
Or go to Tools > Death Pile
You'll see all aging items with how long they've been sitting.
What to Do with Death Pile Items
List it -- Post it on a selling platform to start earning
Reprice it -- Lower your expected price to move it faster
Try a different platform -- Some items sell better on certain platforms
Take better photos -- Good photos make items sell faster
Donate or discard -- If it's not worth the space, let it go
Hiding the Death Pile
If the Death Pile isn't relevant to your business (for example, if you sell from a booth or retail store where items are always on display), you can hide it entirely:
Go to Settings > Feature Visibility
Toggle Death Pile off
This removes the Death Pile counter from your Home dashboard and hides the Death Pile screen from Tools. Your items still age in the background, so you can re-enable it anytime.
