Bidding Per Unit

What Does “Bidding Per Unit" Mean?

Sometimes an auction lot will consist of multiple identical items. For example, this listing is for a pallet of 571 pieces of tile. A bidder is not going to bid on each individual piece of tile, so the auction is set up on a per-unit basis.

This means that the bid amount is for one piece of tile, and the bid is automatically multiplied by the quantity indicated (also known as placing a "times the money" bid).

The total amount of the current high bid can be seen on the item detail page, but the "Next Required Bid" is still the per-unit amount.
