Selling multiple items- how to?
What is the process for selling multiple items? I have 20 or 30 items that I would like to sell. Do I have to list each one individually- paying selling fees on each one?

Mentor2 years ago@ericg75 What kind of items are you wanting to list?
Are the items the same expect with color or size variations? If so then you could use a variation listing.
I'll wait to hear back from you before I go into more detail

Mentor2 years ago@ericg75 Ok, It sounds like you have a lot of different items that are not variations of the same item.
So yes you do need to create a separate listing for each item. You do receive up to 250 free insertions a month, fees DO apply when/ if the item sells. OR if you use optional listing upgrades.
Here's some general info to help get you started>
The first thing you want to do is check the sold listings to see how much your item has been selling for in the last 90 days. You can also see which format worked best, auction or Buy It Now. This is the research I do when listing my items.
Search sold listings:

You can search up to 3years worth of listings using Terapeak:

Once you have an idea of what the item sells for then you can create a listing. You can even use "sell one like this" from a sold item if you find an item like yours in the sold section.
If I have an item that I just am not sure of the current top market value then I use the Auction format and start the listing at a price I'd be happy with even if I receive just one bid. If you get more bids then that's great!

eBay selling fees. Be aware optional upgrades such as reserve price have fees that are due even if the item doesn't sell. Anytime you see a fee at the bottom of the screen before you submit the listing that fee is due even if the item doesn't sell. Most items are free list as long as you don't use upgrades.
