Re: Selling Auction Style

End the listing and do "sell similar" as an auction. Remove "Immediate Payment Required" if you have that checked off. Start the bidding low (like $9.99) to drive interest.

 

It shows you have quantity 3... so I would list one at a time

Can you not end it and then do a relist and select Auction vs Fixed Price when you do?

Then why ask how to switch to auction? You've already had it listed over 8 months now without a taker so it would probably do no good anyway.

Re: Selling Auction Style

Only option is to end it and relist as auction.  Are you just hoping one of us on the forum want to purchase?

No idea why you can't send to auction. Never done it and don't know if there are restrictions for things like quantity listings.

 

But in viewing your listing, it shows a competitor's listing in "Similar sponsored items" who has sold 30+ of these at $100 with free shipping. 

 

So your fundamental issue may not be the format, I think it is having a price that is 30% higher than the going rate.

Re: Selling Auction Style

It's the 'multiple quantity' as the reason that listing cannot be changed to auction. Auctions can only be of 1 item. 

 

Would be very simple to do:

Edit from 3 to 2 (quantity).

Then create another listing for 1 on an auction.

So you came here to ask for help or advice, and then you bad-mouth the people who offer it.

Classy.
