Which eBay auction selling technique is best? Dutch auction or multiple listings?

Question

With the current fee system on ebay, is it better to do a multiple quantity auction (dutch), or actually list many separate auctions with a quantity of 1? I am having trouble understanding the fees, but it doesn't seem like multiple separate auctions would cost much more, and you get the benefit of extra real estate/exosure within the item listings. I'm selling items that cost $40.

Answer 1

I tried dutch a few times and it didn't work. List several, sell maybe 1 or 2 at a too low price.



Go for fixed price listings. Or, open a shop and then have auctions with a link to your shop listing for the same item to allow buyers to BIN.

Answer 2

$1

Answer 3

I know that there's math involved for the answer to your question and I flunked math a long time ago.and to tell you the truth I can't bare to look at those new trick listing fees again!



But before you list anything on ebay, you might wanna take a look at this
