Listing Multiple Lots on eBay is easier than you think. eBay has made it so so difficult, I know, but you can list Multiple Lots on eBay just by doing a couple of extra steps.
I’m going to try and guide you without pictures this time. Hopefully this will get you the answer you want quicker than ever before. If you see pictures, then well I guess that just means that I couldn’t do it without them.
Okay, here we go!
I have to start by saying that a lot of people get a little confused when it comes to the topic of “Multiples”. I am not saying that “You” are, however, some that read this particular Post….. Just may be. Let me try it this way;
SOME TYPES OF LISTINGS EXPLAINED
SINGLE ITEM, SINGLE LISTING, QUANTITY OF 1 – This is the easiest to do. In 2019, when creating your Listing and within the “AUCTION & BUY IT NOW” Section, chose Buy it Now or Auction, check the “Quantity Box” then enter 01. (1 Flashlight) There’s nothing else to do but complete your Listing.
MULTIPLE LISTING OF AN ITEM WITH SLIGHT DIFFERENCE – Similar items may be of a different size, color or length as an example: Just duplicate the Listing and change what needs to be changed. (12″ Black Flashlight, 12″ Gray Flashlight) This gives you two listings. Complete one Listing and click on “Sell Similar“.
MULTIPLE ITEMS WITHIN THE SAME LISTING – Similar to the Single Item Listing , just follow these steps. When creating your Listing and within the “AUCTION & BUY IT NOW” Section, chose Buy it Now, check the “Quantity Box” then enter how many you’re selling, if more than one. (1 Flashlight or 20 Flashlights) There’s nothing else to do but complete your Listing. The items must be exactly the same unless otherwise stated within your description.
SELLING A LOT – This means that multiple items are packed together, then listed as a “Quantity of 1“. It can be an Auction or Buy it Now Listing. You can have Multiple Lot Listings with slight differences, as explained above.
Now it’s time to give you what you really came here for:
HOW TO LIST MULTIPLE LOTS ON EBAY
The setup example: I sell Hoop earrings. I have 500 hoops. I have 250 Pairs that I want to sell in “Lots” of 2
SELLING MULTIPLE LOTS ON EBAY – You start out by creating your Listing exactly the same as you would any other. In this case, I have 250 “Lots” that I would like to offer. So I put 250 as the quantity and complete the Listing. I’m sure you’ve already done this and you already know that eBay doesn’t provide a “Tab” for “Lots“. You create your Listing, go to “Revise it” and still, no option for “Lots“.
Here’s what you have to do: You need to have at minimum 2 Listings to do this (Live or Draft).
- From your “Active Selling” page where all of your Listings are shown, click on at least 2 Listings and click “Edit“. You will be taken to a different type of page to “Revise your Listings“.
- From this page, select both Listings
- Click – “Edit Fields“
- Tap – “Price, Quantity, Best Offer“
- Click – “Edit Listing Individually”
- Go to the Listing you want (our example should have 250 as the quantity)
- Click the Box that says “Sell as Lot”
- Put in the number of items within that Lot (in our example we would enter 02)
- Save and close
So now we have 1 Listing, 250 Lots and 2 items per Lot. When 1 “Lot” sells, the quantity will automatically drop to 249. Your Listing my show potential Buyers a quantity of something like “More than 10 are available“.
