Auctioning fabric at per yard price

Question

I am trying to sell some fabric via auction, have multiple yards, and would like to offer it for a certain price per yard - can I do that?

You can't do it by auction. eBay eliminated multiple-item ("Dutch") auctions many years ago. Each auction must be for a particular quantity of a particular item (or a stated "lot" of multiple items of particular quantities).

Yes. List as Fixed Price per yard with a quantity of the total yards you have available. Make sure you make it clear you are selling by the yard.

Set shipping to either flat rate or calculated for the first yard and for each additional yard, and/or set up some discount rules for the shipping to cover more complicate shipping costs or to offer discounts or a maximum amount to be charged.
