    Won't they be suprised when they find out how much they are going to pay for one box of ammo. Ouch!

    It also says you can have up to 5 boxes at the winning bid/price. [B)] [:D]

    I assume he means however much you bid, you can pay that same amount per box for more.

    Offering more than one item in a listing is a violation of the User Agreement. (Not to mention the bidders were going to be mad!)

    Really? So one can't sell a rifle and bayonet? Seriously?

    Astromike yes that's what I/the auction meant. [B)]

    So someone bid nearly $37 for a single box of ammunition holding 50 rounds (about 75 cents per shot) and it still was not enough to meet the reserve? Is that Fiocchi ammo made with platinum and gold?

    After the action expired he relisted the ammo starting again at $15.00 but this time with no reserve. Don't make much sense to me.

    The point is he relisted it as a Dutch Auction. The first listing was for One Box (But you can have more at the same price.) The "You can have more at the same price" part is a violation of the User Agreement. He could list it as One lot of Five Boxes or a Dutch Auction at a lower price but Qty 5. We removed the original listing to allow him to correct it.

    Even though the text said one box, people were bidding like it was 5 and that situation is only going to end in unhappy bidders, unhappy sellers and us having to waste time with Customer service. I decided the easiest thing to do was have a mulligan.
