Duplicate listings yet condition of each item is different

shapala

eBay doing my head in again. Biz a/c here and sure this wasn't an issue the last time I had to do this.

I bought a consignment of electric items, 20 of which are the exact same product yet condition is different for approx 12 of said items. Fortunately I've 8 which are brand new, the others have marks/scratches/dents and so in different areas, which I've photographed and like to list mentioning the damage and whereabouts of it. However, eBay are saying I can't list since it's a duplicate of one of my other listings (the brand new items). Does anyone know of a way round this? Yes, it's the same item but I want to sell each of the others separately to show whatever cosmetic issues with photographs since these are not like the new offerings I have. Tia.

You need to change something in the title.
Maybe add 'new' or 'used' to the title of one of the listings.

That did it thanks - changed the title to reflect the cosmetic condition and voila. Should've thought of that. Thanks again.

As said, switch the title around, add a lot number and make sure you're not using the same pictures.

Also worth adding that you can sell one at a time and if you use relist when sold then the ranking of the relisted item takes on that of the sold one, so it should appear higher up the search.
