* Sort overall lots into smaller piles, arrange them neatly on a table or floor, have some parts tantalisingly concealed by larger items. Pack your listing with pictures of various parts of your main product taken from all angles. See how it's done by 'tenoclockshow' who currently has seventy photographs in a listing for two boxes of stamps.

* Try combining several photographs onto each image, make your product look larger than life, show potentially hundreds of items and get the most out of your image hosting space.

* Set low starting prices, these things always sell. Starting price One Penny works well with no reserve and encourages early bids and frantic last minute bidding. See how

Imagine this for a part-time business opportunity: you fancy working evenings only, you need to make $500 a day pure profit; you do it on just five listings a day fetching a minimum $100 profit per listing plus eBay fees. You can even make sure every listing actually fetches that kind of profit and maybe a great deal more.

You do this by listing multi-product lots of potentially quite valuable items, so attracting collectors and personal users for whatever product, while also offering really nice mark up potential for fellow eBay sellers wanting to dismantle your lots and sell items individually on eBay.

I create at least twenty multi-product listings each month, focussing on small collectibles like postcards and stamps. My daughters list fewer each month but often exceed my profits. My youngest, Victoria, lists jewellery in bundles; 20-year-old Alexandra prefers dog prints, playing cards, craftwork materials, broken jewellery parts.

Last month I made over $500 for one evening's work. I buy thousands of postcards at auction where I rarely have time to check them properly beforehand. I pay about 5p each across the board. I remove prime cards, those I expect to fetch really high prices, list them individually on eBay, then I bundle the remainder into big boxes, or displayed in old fashioned albums. Last week those bundles fetched me $60, $50, $30 and $20, individual items went for a total $450, the lot cost me $80. I know what I'm doing with postcards, but I know little about stamps or coins, but I can make the same easy money from stamp and coins as I do with postcards.

Almost anything can be sold in multiple lots, subject to availability, demand, size and weight restrictions. Smaller, compact products tend to predominate, being easier to pack, lighter to process, cheaper to post.

Tips

* The big secret is to create unique multi-product bundles, comprising hundreds of items, like playing cards, broken jewellery parts, cigarette cards, ephemera, make-up, maps, vintage and modern toys, craftwork items for scrapbookers and jewellery makers, doll's house furniture, DVDs and CDs, and so on.

* The next big secret is to create an air of mystery, so no one really knows the full extent of what your bundle contains. Do this by piling everything into a box, revealing items on the top and spilling round the sides, give tempting details about items that don't show in your photographs and lead to impulse bidding, lots of questions, and frantic last minute bidding.

* Curiosity is usually intense so be ready to answer lots of emails, use the tick box available inside your eBay account to make your answers accessible to all and save time answering similar questions. Create long descriptions to keep visitors interested but don't waste valuable time describing and photographing every item. Keep people guessing, describe one or two items in detail, emphasise how much winning bidders will enjoy sorting through hundreds/thousands more items in your package.
