    The title rules are there to prevent the listing of a large number of identical items. It is particularly important in the case of items like stamps. It is very offputting for a potential customer to have to wade through a dozen or more stamps of the same issue which only differ in, perhaps, a postmark (ie having the same catalogue number). You could make each title different by numbering it (eg #1,#2) but I would strictly limit the number of times you do that to avoid putting off buyers and because you may incur the wrath of eBid management. If you like you could look at my listings. You will see examples of my solution if you sort the listings into title order.

I'm sure there's a way around it and I'll look at other peoples lists tomorrow to see how they deal with the problem.

    Thanks again.
    Welcome and hope you have some sales.
    I list multiple items with the same description, however I put a different letter for each of those same title descriptions, e.g.
    marvel universe trading card # 3 (A)
    marvel universe trading card # 3 (B)
    marvel universe trading card # 3 (C)
    and so on......
    Hope this helps

    I just joined eBid yesterday (May 21) and imported my eBay listing to eBid with no problems.
    I was getting tired of eBay's changing of the rules and increasing their fees so much.
    After more than 20 years on eBay I left and joined eBid and I like it very much so far.
    However, I do have a question for anyone that can answer it... How do you locate a listing you were working on but had to stop and save for later...?
    I started one yesterday but cannot find a link to where it is "saved" so I just may have to start it over...

    No, we're all here because we're lonely, no-one else to talk to, nothing else to do.... I'm just celebrating my 10th anniversary on here not selling a blind thing...
