Listing an item where I have a quantity of more than 1

Question

How do I list an item and give the buyer the choice to buy 1 or up to 50 of an item. For example, light bulbs. I cannot find the option for "Fixed Price" and multiple quantities.

If you want a Multi-Quantity listing where you have more than 1 identical item:

==>> You will want a Fixed Price/Buy It Now Format listing, not an Auction.

The instructions depend on which "Listing Tool" format you use.

When you create your listing:

-- With Quick Listing Tool or mobile app
1) Turn OFF Auction
2) Turn ON Buy It Now
(In that order)
3) Click More Options

OR

-- With New Listing Tool
1) Scroll to Format in the Pricing section
2) Click the Format
3) Select Buy It Now (not Auction)

Then, it will be a fixed-price listing.

==>>The Quantity Field will appear beside or below the Price<<==

You will be able to enter the number of items you have. People can buy 1 or many. eBay will keep track of the number remaining.

TIP: If your listing is already Active or live on eBay as an Auction, you will need to end it and relist it as a Fixed Price Format listing.
(Once a listing is active, you cannot change from Auction to Fixed Price and vice versa.)
