Confused over buy it now multiple items

ant31

Hi..
I have sold a few items with buy it now/auction and been quite pleased with the response and had quite a few opt for the buy it now.
I don't seem to understand tho, how much it costs to do a straight buy it now (no auction) with multiple items. From what I can read from the help pages I pay a normal listing fee for my item, multiplied by the number of items I am selling.. this seems a waste of time. I may as well do multiple single listings.
If this is tru as well how can this seller (ignore the fact they are pirate copies as well!) afford £10000 worth of listing fees - or has he/she made a ba**s up (hopefully!)

Thanks for advice as always..

Hi Ant,

Thanks for posting this... i need to know this myself as have FINALLY just taken the plunge and brought a product from the wholesaler .. then im ready to give this e-bay thing a whirl..(1st venture)

As im gonna have a job lot of the same product.. im not sure how to list it.. I will be doing buy it now but singly or multiple items available.. which is cheapest and morew effective in your opinions..

Im grateful for any advice also..

If you do a buy-it now listing their is a price ceiling. Basically the maximum listing fee is £2.00 for as many items as you like. Thats is what i have found anyway and is why that ebayer selling pirate copies can sell 1000 quanitity.

When i used to use ebay thats how it worked!
Hope that this helps you

Thanks guys.. basically richto ive gott approx 100 to sell.. obviously i dont think they are all gonna go in one listing.. i was thinking break them up in maybe blocks of 15 every 2nd day for listing them.. they are cheap items you see..only 3.50 each ?

Simple the seller has/will be making a shed load of cash from their illegal operation. He's probably got more than one ebay ID so as not to advertise the fact he supplies counterfeit stuff.
