Bidding
on
multiple
items
in
an
auction
listing
(Multi-Item
Auction)
Multi-Item
Auction
listings
allow
a
seller
to
offer
two
or
more
identical
items
in
one
auction
listing.
This
means
the
auction
can
have
more
than
one
winner.
When
a
buyer
places
a
bid
on
a
Multi-Item
Auction,
they
specify
how
many
items
they
wish
to
buy
and
the
maximum
price
they
wish
to
pay
per
item.
Winning
bids
are
selected
in
order
of
bid
amount
followed
by
in
order
of
earliest
bid
time.
For
example
a
bid
of
$20
for
10
items
takes
priority
over
a
bid
of
$18
for
20
items.
If
two
bids
have
the
same
amount
per
item,
the
earliest
bid
takes
priority.
Just
like
in
a
traditional
auction,
the
bidder
with
the
highest
bid
per
item
gets
first
choice
of
how
many
items
they
want,
and
the
bidder
with
the
second
highest
bid
per
item
gets
second
choice
of
how
many
items
they
want
and
so
on.

auction

on
OZtion,

our
Auto-Bidding

possible

for
them
on
their
behalf.

Important
information
for
sellers:
- To
list
a
Multi-Item
Auction
simply
list
your
item
as
an
Auction
with
a
quantity
of
two
or
more.
- If
the
item
ends
with
multiple
bidders,
the
highest
bidder
will
be
allocated
the
original
item
number.
Subsequent
winners
will
each
be
allocated
a
new
item
number
(a
BuyNow
item
with
the
Price
and
Qty
they
won).
- If
the
listing
ends
with
items
remaining,
the
remaining
quantity
will
be
relisted
as
a
new
Multi-Item
Auction
once
the
highest
bidder
completes
checkout.

and
the
maximum

- The

number,
subsequent
winners
will
each
be
allocated
a
new
item
number
(a
BuyNow
item
with
the
Price

- If
you
are
the
highest

complete
checkout

soon
as
possible
so

the
remaining
quantity
relisted.
- Winning
bidders
cannot
withdraw
from
the
transaction
if
they
did
not
win
their

so
only
bid

complete
the
transaction
regardless
of
the

end
up
