Placing 1 Item per Buyer Limit, is this possible?
 

Hi folks, a quick question. Is it possible to place a limit where each buyer can only purchase 1 item from you regardless of if payment has been made for the item? For example I have 10x of Y items and don't want someone to click and buy all 10 at once as I want these to be purchased by 10 different people, is this possible?

Thanks

Only way I know is to auction list one a night. Whom ever wins that night, block them for the rest of the auctions...If they complain just say it's ebay rules for new sellers....

You can do this with TurboLister.


edit-

You can set up TUrboLister so that as soon as a buy-it-now item is sold, it is relisted.

I wouldn't touch turbo lister with a poo covered shovel - definitely not the way to go - you're letting Ebay all over your pooter!!:eek:

don't use turbo Lister its bad news. but you can set it up on ebay were you can block bidders that have below a feedback score to only bid on x number of items in a 10 day period so there might be a way in your settings to do this for all bidders. but if you go ahead and message the people and tell them its a thing with new sellers ebay CAN see that message and they could in turn suspend you for acting shady. so you might just want to list one item a day.

Blocking works nicely - i would also avoid turbolister.

Thanks guys, I don't think there is any specific way apart from listing 1 a day which I think is what I must do from now on :)

LMAO @ the lack of knowledge in some of these responses...

Yes, you can limit the amount a seller can buy. It's towards the bottom of the listing page. It's called buyer restrictions. There are lots of tools in there to prevent a-holes from screwing with your auctions. You can require buyers to have paypal to bid. My personal favorite since competitors know you don't need PP to sign up and screw you over. They will be less likely to screw up a paypal doing this. You can block bidders with non paying strikes, and yes limit the amount of auctions a single buyer can buy from you. I have mine set to 1 to avoid a competitor ordering up 20 auctions and and negging them all. Have fun. :thumb:

IDK the man! He has given great advice, use it people! :)

Yes you can set it up... In ebay... This is useful when selling for feedback since only 1 feedback is counted towards your seller DSR... I put up some cheap items lucky to break even and id hate for one person to suck it up...

Also I immediately block buyers who are already picky before they purchase. It has eliminated a lot of problems down the road for me.

If you read my post, I said regardless of if payment is made for an item.

That is what I had in mind, it used to be ok but now people can buy for than 1 item at a time, how do you do it?

Please help, I already limit quantity 3 items per buyer but someone still can bough more than 10 items per orders... I don't know why :(

Re: Placing 1 Item per Buyer Limit, is this possible?
 

If you set it correctly than if they buy or bid on more than 3 items within 10 days they get a message and are blocked from buying any more, i use this on all my ebay accounts.

After u choose 3 items towards the bottom make sure u also check off apply to all active and future settings than click save
