No.

This is how I prevent 100 lot $10 orders, by forcing buyers to purchase more
of low price items. I prefer this to convoluted lot limits/fees.

It also makes it much easier to pull orders as most items are already pre-counted
and bagged in the multiples that buyers have to purchase them.


  I can understand bulksellers getting more questions about it, but the suggested
options do not make it more obvious IMHO,

I agree, such a change would only be marginally helpful.

Every page of my store has "(x10) means that you must buy the item in multiples
of 10. Price is for EACH item." at the top. I still get the questions.


  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

I had given up on it. I suggested it many times over the years. I do not know
why Dan chose not to implement it. My guess would be it was a low priority.

The "technology" is obviously in place to do this. Just mouse around on this
page and you will see it. If I mouse over the green box next to your store name,
I get a box that says "Seller ships to my country". If I mouse over the thought
bubbles after your name, I get a popup that says "View a11 messages posted by
RobErNat".

I see no reason why the same could not be done for the buy multiplier on store
pages. Just need to have it say "You must buy in multiples of this number, price
is per each item" or something similar.

Perhaps I should suggest it again.
