To search for the product, go to the eBay homepage, then choose wholesale and job lots under the eBay categories heading. Here, many categories can be found, ranging from electronics to clothing.

      Once you have found an item in the bulk category at a suitable price, adjust the quantity to suit your needs. However if a listing does not have the quantity option, you may need to place a normal bid. Usually, the seller will include information on the quantity of the product; however you can clarify this by asking the seller a question.

    Payment and delivery

      One of the benefits of buying in bulk is that items are bought at a discount price. Discount will be automatically deducted when receiving an invoice for your purchase; this may be quantity or postage discount. However if you are buying large items, you may need to arrange a pick up point with the seller, or contact them prior to paying, to confirm how the items will be shipped.
