But it hasn't worked for those 10 years. This is BY FAR the issue I get asked questions on the most, for the reason that Mike cited. A couple of times a week, every week. Maybe you should get rid of 'bulk' then I can understand bulksellers getting more questions about it, but the suggested options do not make it more obvious IMHO, also when a buyer tries to add a quantity less then the stated bulkamount (or not matching muliples of it), he/she gets a red pop-up banner saying: Oops! This seller asks that you buy this item in multiples of x So a person thinking that when he buys 1 he gets x of those, and tries to put 1 in cart, the buyer gets a warning that should make him understand what the bulk amount number means. However, what I do not like is the fact that shoppingcarts says xX behind the selected amount, because that indeed isn't quite the way it should show and will confuse the buyer, once it is in cart it becomes irrelevant IMO (particulary for the fact that if the buyer tries to add 1 more, the same pop-up appears)       Like I said in my other post: a help text when hovering on such listing might help things, but I think we'll need to wait for BL3 on that. This is the solution, that I posed 10 years ago, and there is no reason that it can not be implemented now. There is no need to wait until BL3. There are other examples on the site already where this is done. Well, if you think it can be done in the current layout of BL, why not make a suggestion about that. I believe it would be far more practical then changing the current display of the bulk amount requirement IMHO Eric    Troy
