Listing quantities on eBay
« on: 09 May, 2008, 12:45:34 pm »
I'm developing an auction mechanism at work, I've been hunting through the eBay help pages to work out how it handles quantity.  Can anyone who sells through eBay a lot give quick answers to the following, please?

- can you list an item with quantity>1 as anything other than BuyItNow?
- if so, how does the bidding system take the quantities into account?

I suspect the answer to #1 is No though.

You certainly used to be able to. Look up Dutch Auction.

Gotcha - cheers W.  I note that the proxy bidding doesn't kick in here, you pay exactly what you bid.
