    Default Multi Item Auctions ???

    I was wondering if there is an option for making an auction a Multi item auction like in ebay so I can offer different colors of my stickers that I sell of the same item. If there is no option fo that this is definitely an option that would be helpful.

    You can list several auctions with titles similar like my example as shown below

    Car Vinyl bamboozer - Blue Stickers size 3x8
    Car Vinyl bamboozer - Green Stickers size 3x8
    Car Vinyl bamboozer - Orange Stickers size 3x8
    Car Vinyl bamboozer - Blue Stickers size 5x16
    etc

    You can also arrange a store if you're seller+ so that different sizes appear in your store(s) so that buyers can find them easier

    Hi Erik...& a warm welcome to eBid!

    I can see your point re: choices,
    but it would be to your best advantage to list all your "options" seperately.
    Take advantage of the site & list as many products as you can, then they will be uploaded to Google Shopping for you. More listed = more exposure = more possible sales!

    I have also requested this for a long time now.

    I could list all my magnets in 192 listings, instead of the current almost 4,000.
    This makes it a lot easier for customers to view them instead of ploughing through dozens of pages.
    They can also see all the designs available for each breed in one listing.

    Same applies to my bookmarks - cut down from 1,700 listings to around 190.

    I use variant listings elsewhere, and there is no doubt it has increased sales - especially multi purchases.

    Unfortunately I cannot see it happening here as high items figures appear to be more important (thats just the impression I get)

    Mags - so you mean if you were selling magnets, you would have something like a drop down window with all the variations listed inside one listing? That would be handy. But would they show up if a person just did a general search of title subjects (not advanced, to include inside the listing words) on, say poodle.....and the listing you had didn't have that in the title? Or would you have Poodle in the title, and everything poodle-related would be in the drop-down box??? (or however they do it). I can see that would work well and increase multi purchases......

    If it were done here, I would have mine with, for example, ''labrador fridge magnets''.
    Same would apply to each of 192 breeds.
    That listing then opens up with a drop down menu in it which shows all my designs for that breed.
    Buyers can just click on each in the drop down menu to view the images.
    Saves them having to open lots of individual listings.

    Anything that could increase multiple purchases would be good for ebid - more fvfs

    Having seen Mag's example, I now agree with his suggestion. Very sensible...........and I always like to keep things SIMPLE. This does it. I do dislike having to plow through lots of listings when this would streamline the process, probably increase sales, and help keep the site neat and easy to use for buyers.
