Stock/Quantity
Stock/Quantity settings are part of your store listing settings. Listing settings are accessed from the store dashboard.
These settings are used to sync the product quantity details from your Commerce storefront to the quantity on your Amazon Seller Central account. This tool is powerful and can be used for additional advertising by displaying urgency to the buyer while keeping your inventory organized. For example, some merchants may have 150 items of a particular SKU in stock in their warehouse and want to make sure that Amazon shoppers can purchase all of their inventory. Other merchants may wish to only list one item at a time to create a sense of scarcity to the end user. In this case, set the Maximum Listed Quantity to 1.
Quantity is a regional attribute and based on the Amazon Marketplace Country setting define during store integration. When a change is made to a product’s quantity, the change affects all Amazon listings that share that Amazon Seller SKU in your Amazon stores that sell in the same country. A change to a shared Amazon Seller SKU in the United States does not affect your Amazon stores set up for a different country. Your first Amazon store that is integrated (with the oldest creation date) controls priority in the quantity settings.

Example: Maximum listed quantity
When an item is sold, the Amazon listing relists it at this quantity.
For example, if you set Maximum Listed Quantity as 12, the Amazon listing shows a quantity of 12 even though the product has a Commerce quantity of 80:
If you set your Maximum Listed Quantity as 1, all eligible products are listed with a quantity of 1. When an item is sold, the system looks to your Commerce product and, if additional stock exists, relists the item on Amazon with a quantity of 1.
This option might be valuable for products that are typically ordered at a quantity of 1. It also increases urgency for the shopper when viewing your Amazon listing.
