Volume pricing for single item listings and ebays lack of transparency on the matter.

[mikeh880]

Here i have  been for a couple years wondering why nobody ever buys more than one item from me only to find it diesnt apply to your store only to the specific listing. its disgusting, you cant even find that information even when you know to look for it. im lit.  so much business i have lost because of  the poor design of the platform. some pull down menus you hover others you have to click and on some if you click them it refreshes the page.  somebody seriously needs some adderall.  so how do i give discounts with single item listings over my store in general?

Anyone can buy as many things as they want from you. All they do is like any other selling website on the planet. Put the items in the cart then pay. Easy peasy.

I honestly can not decipher what you are asking.....

Don't understand how you lost so much business?

If a buyer wants an item bad enough, they'll buy it.

Trust me, if someone wants a 'volume discount' for buying more than item they won't be shy about sending you a message about it.

Volume discount is working the way it's intended which is a discount for buying more than one of a particular item.

Volume discount or not, the customer can easily enter the quantity he/she  wants.

Here's an explanation of the various ways to offer various "specials".......right in the help files with a keyword search on Volume pricing:

It's really simple Mr. Lit, volume pricing applies to multi-quantity listings(more than 1). If you want buyers to purchase multiple items from your store, you create a coupon, public or private. There is every option available as far as discounting goes. eBay has made sure to give us every tool to lose money.

You might have lost sales because of the way you have your shipping set up.  When a buyer looks at items in the search view, they only see the shipping service that you entered first. The only time they will see the other options if they click on the shipping tab within your listing.  Some of your listing list Priority as the first option and first class as the second option. That means that potential buyers are seeing $11+ for shipping rather than $5+.

i do not understand what is so complicated about " volume pricing " you know where you do 5 - 10 - 15 percent off for buying more than one item..... everybody following along ? i can be a smart ass too. it doe3s not apply to single item listings; if i have a soccer ball listed and another listing for golf clubs and (that is 2 separate listings) .  Now say somebody comes along to buy golf clubs and a soccer ball, the volume pricing has nothing to do with those two items because it only applies to single listings of multiple items like if i had 100 soccer balls on a listing.  if you have nothing intelligent to say don't waste my time, talking to me like im stupid because you don't understand rather than asking for clarification is absolutely narcissistic and pointless.  Ok rockstar, easy peasy.

[mikeh880]

ok then please explain to me why none of my listings in which i have applied volume pricing , actually declare a discount to the buyer/

[mikeh880]

so you dont understand how people might want to save money and not pay the insane postage of say 15 dollars for a pair of jeans?  are we on the same planet with the concept of discounts? why so many people respond with absolutely nothing of value to say I will never understand.  Nothing better to do ?

[mikeh880]

wouldnt ya know, been there done that.. thanks for the non answer.

[mikeh880]

well thank you so much. isnt that a whole lot of extra **bleep** to have to go through and keep up with in order to offer discounts between specific different itrems? and what isnt so simple is there is no explanation of that anywhere.  no place does it say " volume discounts only work per multi item listing" or anything similar to that which communicates the fact that all the times ive been selecting volume discoount for didnt offer any discount to anybody at all.. yet here i am wondering whats going on with my volume pricing and whyy in 2 years have i not had a single multi item sale?>   and im not Lit ithat wasnt even my comment. Mr. Its really simple. dont sue me if i misgendered you. ,

How do you get a volume  discount on listings that are for OOAK.  It looks to me you are giving a discount  by offering  OBO on your  listing and your buyers are receiving a discount.

Sold on  eBay for over over 11 years, sold 1665 items.  Can count on three  fingers of the multiple qty purchase of my OOAK offerings.
