Default Selling multiples in the same auction

Can't find the answer to this question, maybe someone has some experience. For example, I want to list 3 of the same item in one auction. First of all since this is a new account, is this a no no? Second, would this be considered 1 item or 3 for seller limit purposes?

Use the fixed price listing and put the qty as 3.

You cannot duplicate auction listings. It'll count as 3 items

I didn't think I could do fixed price until I have 15 feedback (with linked paypal). So even without fixed price, if I do an auction of 3 of the same items, it will count as 3 items, not 1. I am not looking to duplicate listings, just want to sell all 3 at once.

I am able to list on new accounts using "Buy It Now".

I can do "Buy it Now", just not fixed price at this time. I am really wondering if I can do multiples of the same item (say 3 units of XX) in one auction, and have it count as 1 item? From the statement above I am understanding it to be 3 items even though 1 auction. What about clothing? What if it was a lot of 10 pieces of clothes? Is that 10 items or 1?

You can never do 3 different items in 1 auction; defeats the purpose of the word auction.

they aren't different items. It would be 3 of the same items. Say I put up one bottle of shampoo (example) starting at $1.99 or 3 bottles of shampoo starting at $6.00. I see many others offering multiples of the same products in one auction. Just don't know how it counts against seller limits.

3 x Shampoo (or any other items) in one auction will be counted as 1 item for selling limits purposes.

Each sale counts towards your monthly sales limit and (there is the possibility) that if you have more up than your limit, it will affect next months too - little glitch in the eB system like that

ebazstealth:

I don't think eBay will offer a "quantity" of the item you are selling unless it is a "fixed price" auction.

This should prove true when you try to create your listing. You can't show "3 available" on any auction that has a variable final cost at the end of the auction (that would be the "dutch" auction they tried years ago but stopped) but lets say you could.

I believe eBay will count each item registered as a "sell" of the 3 total you have available as 3 items against your monthly limit. In other words as each item sells eBay counts one more sell against your monthly limit.
