Basically should I make one listing with buy it now and say I have a quantity of 10 OR should I make 10 listings for the same item. Which is cheaper or do you think would sell better.

Default Selling Multiple Items

When you are selling multiple of the same item, is it better and safer to make 1 listing and say you have a quantity of 10 of that item? Or is it better to just list all 10 items individually? Just a thought.

Whether you sell with one listing or multiple listings would depend on your category and supply/demand.

If you are the only seller, I would use 1 or 2 listings to get the best prices. Think about it, if you wanted something and you see it on ebay with a quantity of 10, you may wait a bit. OTOH, if there was only one listing and the quantity was 1, as a buyer, you would most likely buy it quicker and for more money.

Now if there are multiple sellers and it's a popular item, I would simply price it competitively and put up about 6 or so. Unless it's an ULTRA high demand item and you're one of the few sellers, I would not list more than ten as a quantity. Yes, you get improved rankings for listings with multiple sales, but I would focus more on your supply/demand picture.

It's definitely cheaper to list BIN and 10 as quanttity since you only paying listing fee once but if to list 10 times you are paying 10 listing fees
