How to do a Variation Listing but With a Minimum of Buy 5

Hello,

I’m adding new products to my listings and want to do a variation listing but would like to list a minimum of buy 5. These items are very small and not worth it sell just one not to mention the shipping cost.

It is possible to list it this way? I came across another seller who sells similar items and they had it set up as shown in the picture below. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

That feature is for the .com site only. You can do a variation listing on .ca but its basic, no bells and whistles

 

For the Buy 1 pay this price buy 2 get a discount and pay this price etc thats only on the .com site. Also you cant set up a minimum purchase amount, people would still be able to buy 1 only and not forced to buy 5

As @regs43  stated, that particular option that you are showing is for sellers who list on .com and have a store.  Even in that scenario, the buyer is not required to buy more than 1.

 

You could set up the listing so that the buyer received free shipping if they purchased 5 or more as that might give them an incentive to buy more.   What type of item is it?

Thanks so much for your reply! Too bad this feature isn’t on the Canadian site.

Thanks for your response! It’s a small 1 oz pocket size hand sanitizer called a Pocketbac. Unfortunately I wouldn’t be able to justify free shipping with the cost of the items but I think I’m just going to group the sanitizers together by theme or season in groups of 5 or 10 as I have over 100 of them and list them separately. Thank you again for your response!

Just a reminder that hand sanitizer is considered a "Dangerous Good" and can't be shipped via Canada Post (unless sent via Limited/Excepted quantity, which comes with restrictions, and has proper dangerous goods handling on the exterior of the package).
