Gazza, Can we violate ebid policies please?!

I still cant see why as I dont want to list all 30 as a auction I want to sell 30 x lights at £10.95 as a buy it now but to get peoples interest I have also done a listing with 1 x light with a auction starting at £6.99 I cant see where the problem with this is ? will keep it until admin let me know

Hence why I say you need to email Gazza or Mark direct.

I have a few items that could be listed as many auctions even though it's the same item, but I don't have enough time to list every item I have let alone listing some of them with every usage possible.

No matter what the rule/s are people will still try or find a way around them if they really want to

I already emailed them, did you read my post?

Yes, I did read your post. I suggested that you either escalate the ticket to Gazza & Mark, or send a new one to Gazza & Mark rather than asking them to come on the forums to reply.

Obviously You didn't. You know, just forget it.

Yeah hopefully admins feel like it to let us know.

Well, all I can say is good luck

I'm afraid I disagree completely...

To me, if someone spends the time to research what a "type a battery" can be used on and then list the battery for "use a" "use b" etc then I don't see an issue.
I needed a charger for my mobile, so I typed in nokia 3310 charger and up came several, I purchased the cheapest, job done.

Nope, don't see it that way at all. If you have a stock of XYZ that can be used on ten different ABCs, you make *one* listing and put the ten ABCs in the listing. Anything else is nonsense to my mind. You can take almost anything and legitimise it with "oh, these aren't duplicates you're using them differently" otherwise.

1 x left arm bangle
1 x right arm bangle
1 x bangle for wearing with other bangles
1 x bangle for girls
1 x bangle for boys
1 x bangle for leaving on your dressing-table
1 x bangle for losing at the bottom of your handbag

... they're all the same bangle.

how about the same item by same seller but one listing is a buy it now for a quantity of 30 and the other is a auction for one of the same item ?

That is a no no, see post 15

And that's wrong too, IMO. As long as the 30 item is being sold as a pack of 30, then you are perfectly fine selling 1 x 30 pack and 1 single of anything - those *are* different.

Ah... then you *are* breaking the rules. If the 30 are not a job lot, but individual items on Dutch/Multi-item listing, they are no different from the auction listing: both are offering a single sale, just by different means. No can do.
