I know eBay used to allow Dutch auction listings and may still. Is this the type of auction addressed here?


eBay discontinued dutch auctions long time ago already. Gixen used to support them while they existed.

I dont really understand the request.

Are you talking about listings that have a Buy It Now option as nochkin suggests, or about multiple auction listings, say there are five auctions and you want to win only two items?

Gixen allows you to schedule as many snipes as you like, on different auctions, so the request to 'queue two bids' I dont understand at all I'm afraid... why would anyone want to schedule two snipes on the same auction?

If a seller has multiple items in the same listing, that's a Buy It Now listing. You can't snipe BIN items.

You might consider adding a quantity field - when a bidder wants more than one item and the seller has more than one available - OR let them queue two bids - but I don't think the ebay system, allows that
