What’s the deal?
Ebay’s currently letting you list multiple identical items for the price of one – a big boon for serious ‘bayers with lots of the same item to sell.
As an example, if you wanted to sell three identical Sony mp3 players for £100 each, you’d only have to pay £1.30, instead of £3.90.
How to grab the offer
The offer’s valid until 23 September 2008. It’s only valid on buy it now (fixed price) auctions and the items must all be within the same listing. See full rules.
Listing multiple identical items is easy. Just create a buy it now auction as normal, then when it asks you the quantity, enter 2, 3 or 4 etc.
How much will I pay?
The more expensive your item, the more expensive the listing fee. For instance, items priced under 99p cost only £15p to list, whereas items over £100 cost £1.30.
While listing extra identical items costs nowt, you’ll still have to pay a sale charge if someone buys them; this is a percentage of the auction’s closing price. Though remember you don't pay a sale charge if your item doesn’t sell.

This is a new one!! No specific mention, but I suspect it is aimed at business sellers with more than one of each item to sell....<--- Nothing to see here - move along --->0 -
Well that explains why I got charged 8p to list two £4.99 items on one shop listing.
It usually cost me 10p

Its because they are loosing a lot of trade to ebid.net. I think its because their new search is so awful and no one can find what they are looking for anymore.0
