Hi,
Is there a limit on the length of an auction on Ebay including text and photos?
I have a huge lot of vintage jewelry that I will eventually list, but it may be too much for one auction. I'd like to list it in just one auction, but may have to list in two if there is a limit.
Thanks for your help.

It is hard to say what your real question is, but it sounds like you wish to sell your jewelry individually in one auction and the buyer picks the items they wish to have. This is not allowed. If you list your items in one auction, then all of the items must be included in the listing. One bid wins all.

And I don't think there's a limit to the length (number of words / photos) in an auction. I've seen auctions for coins that include 150-200 pics, detailed close-ups of both sides of many, many coins.

Thanks for your answers.
Stonecold, the auction will consist of many pieces of jewelry, with descriptions and photos. However, it will be a vintage jewelry lot which is a category on Ebay.
All the jewelry in the auction will be sold to one winning bidder.
You answered my question,TheFamilyBiz.
I will auction off all the jewelry at one time. I'm relieved to hear I don't have near as many pieces of jewelry, as the coins you mentioned.
So I guess it's a go. Thanks again.

Be careful how many pictures you attach to the auction. Even with Vendio and their click to enlarge the downsized image feature, 5 pictures is about the max you want to attach, even though I've gone as high as 12 on specialty items. The reason is, if it takes much more than 30 seconds for an auction page to load, bidders start getting antsy. You don't want to chase off all of your dial up buyers and half of your broadband buyers by having an auction that takes over a minute to load.
