Ebay - multiple listing removal

[paulears]

I note nobody has mentioned that Ebay are going to start to remove listings if they are duplicates - I find my own sales peak if they end at two different times, so I often have duplicates running - even with the extra insertion fees, it's worth it.

They now will automatically remove any duplicates. They cite rubbish reasons for the change, making it sound as if it's a positive and helpful move, but I'll sell less, and this must also be bad for the people looking for bargains?

Rather annoying - and I can't really see the point.

cheers - I guess nobody spotted mine. thanks for letting me know. neither have any replies yet, so presumably not common knowledge or just not important?

That's actually a part of eBay rules for some time now:

* You can have only 1 BIN listing and up to 14 auctions for identical item

Just part of rules you have to follow (many sellers are tricking this though as it's not that easy for eBay to spot these identical listings if you use different titles).

Worth using a slightly different image as well between the same listing, ebay can identify identical auctions by photos as well.
