Multi-choice listings okay?

[terroxyboy]

I'm thinking of trying something new, but can't quite work out if this is allowed or not:

At certain times of the year, I sell collectable plant seeds, with lots of listings at $4 - $5 each packet. I'm finding that I am churning through my 30 listings a month, and then it just isn't worth doing after that as I am paying $1.50 plus FVF, and then paypal's cut on top of that for every $5 packet that I sell.

So I would like to switch to a fixed price listing that offers 3 packets per buyer for $15, and a list of the seeds that they can choose to make their pack of seeds from. Is this permitted? I'm having trouble working out how to make a listing with variations that allow a buyer to scroll down a list of available seeds and pick what they want from the list. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

As far as I can tell multi variations are available for plant seeds.  I personally find doing multi variations a little tricky, but eventually I get it right, or almost right:-)  When you click on the category you should get a little box that asks if you want to do variations, just click yes and follow the prompts; if at first you don't succeed, try again.  Much cheaper way of listing items if you're on a budget:-)

Okay - I worked it out! Can't believe it took me so long, lol. Yes, I am on a tight budget and this is a much better way of doing it. Thanks!

collectable plant seeds? whats collectable about plant seeds? that would imply you are never going to actually plant them...

I guess you can plant them, but never pick them ??

Seeds for collectable plants, not available at commercial nurseries.

Have you thought of a basic level store? For $19.99 per month you get 80 free listings and can use singles, multis and any other combination and they will last 30 days rather than the maximum of 10 days with a non store listing.

That doesn't really work for me PJ, the seeds / gemmae that I sell only sprout for a couple of months and then die off, so I tend to list as much as I can while they are fresh and then it all fizzles out by the end of Winter.

Looks like you've found the best solution for your situation, Terroxyboy.

Good luck! Your seeds are interesting!
