Sales detection and delisting
Worldwatch detects when a watch sells on a connected channel and removes it from the others automatically, no manual tracking, no overselling one-of-a-kind pieces.

Worldwatch watches your connected channels for sales. When a watch sells on one channel, Worldwatch marks it sold and removes it from the others automatically, so a one-of-a-kind piece never sells twice. There's no manual tracking to keep up with, and how fast a sale is detected depends on the channel, not on your plan.
Detection isn't gated by your plan. Every plan detects sales and delists across channels the same way; the only difference is each channel's own sync speed.
How sales are detected
Detection works one of two ways, depending on the channel:
- Instant. On-platform sales and channels that push order events are detected the moment the order is placed, with no delay.
- On the channel's sync schedule. Feed-based channels are checked on their regular sync, so a sale there is reflected at the next sync.
| Channel | When a sale is detected |
|---|---|
| Worldwatch marketplace | Instantly, the sale happens on Worldwatch |
| Shopify | Instantly, via order webhooks |
| eBay | As soon as the order is reported |
| WooCommerce | As soon as the order is reported |
| Wristler | Through sale events and the six-hour inventory sync |
| Bezel | On the hosted feed's sync schedule |
What happens when a sale is detected
The moment Worldwatch detects a sale on any channel:
- The watch is marked Sold and leaves your active inventory.
- An order record is created with the buyer and sale details.
- The listing is removed from your other connected channels, so the same watch can't be sold twice.
The reverse holds too: marking a watch sold yourself, for an off-platform sale, also takes down its listings everywhere.
