Discount on Multiple items purchased...

[forklift0_00]

I have been selling off my lapel pin collection of over 80,000 (very close to world record status) I still have over 60,000 to list.. lol... I have manually set minimum price I am willing to take on some and others use best offer... Most my pins are way less than others just so I can move them.. I have tried the free shipping route, minimum price with lowest possible shipping cost, Changed title and anything possible to move them quicker.. I only list maybe a couple hundred a month but want to try and move them quicker

I figured I would try the Buy 3 get 1 at 15% off.. I only have 1 quantity for each pin... My question is (if it makes sense) Say I have 3 different pin listings and someone buys 3 does it automatically give the 15% discount? or do they have to buy 4 pins? .. Plus, does it only work for multiple quantity listings - by that I mean I list a pin and have 3 of them?.. Kinda confused a little

I am a part time seller and never tried anything like this..

P.S. I don't like the new format but if I have the resources in seller hub to help move the items, I am willing to learn and take advantage of it.. Thank you, and I read these boards daily, and most of ya are very helpful.. I have learned a lot from reading the advice..

Buy 3, Get 1 at 15% off means the buyer adds 4 to cart, pays full price on 3 and gets 15% off the lowest priced item. If you want a discount on the 3rd item then it would be a Buy 2, Get 1 at 15% off promotion. It works across listings for whichever items you add to the promotion- it doesn't matter if they're single quantity listings. The buyer has to add the number of items to their cart where the discount will be automatically applied.

I looked at your listings and see that you're currently charging a separate cost for shipping on all except for 1 listing.

In your category I think you'd move things faster and encourage multi-item sales by offering a shipping promotion. Like a flat $5.00 shipping no matter how many pins they buy- you'd set it up as $5.00 shipping on 2 or more items.

An order discount can be more effective if you change to free shipping, because you can offer a larger discount based on combined shipping savings.

What you're selling is small and lightweight so either of these options should work pretty well for you.

You can also add a few more descriptors to your titles- enamel where appropriate, pickles and food to the Heinz pin lot, animal to the alligator pin, etc. A lot of buyers will search for generic keywords like that.
