Defining Quantity
Sell single items or "lots" containing multiple items (e.g. a dining set or patio furniture). An individual item is a single item. A lot is a grouping of items into a single item for sale, with each lot containing multiple items sold as a group.
Place a counter on your Item Listing page to know the number of times (hits) your listing has been viewed. A counter is a great way to measure observe shopper interest for your items.
Lot Listing
You can sell similar items together in one listing to one buyer (a case of shaving razors, a record collection, etc.). For example, if you have 50 hammers that you'd like to sell together to one buyer for an average price of $5.99 each. To list these hammers as a "lot," you would first click the Lot tab in the Quantity section, and enter "1" in the Number of Lots box and "50" in the Number of Items Per Lot box. You would then set the price to $299.50. The winning bidder will win all 50 hammers.
