Bulk listing auction style

[pstoric]

I have 5 of an item I want to sell but using the bulk listing feature, I can only used a fixed price. Is there a way I can bulk list with auction style or do I need to create a listing for each one individually?

You can only have one of the same item up for auction at a time.

You can't list 5 different auctions for the same item at the same time.

It would be five separate items. For example, five pairs of the same headphones for sale.

You can have 5 auctions of the same item, as long as you have the items in hand. When I do this, I put letters or numbers at the end " Like A, B, C, D" so the title is different and ebay won't flag for double posting. No one should do it if they don't have the quantity of course.

Ah ok. I did something similar where I just changed the title slightly. Guess that's my answer.

Here is the policy regarding selling duplicate items.

Why would you want to do five different auctions?   If you dont know the value of the item, you will figure it out after an auction or two.

Having five auctions for the same model at the same time strikes me as a good way to get only one bid on each auction, instead of five bids for one auction.

The point of an auction is to make the bidder feel like he is in a contest and that he must outbid his competitors.

yMMV
