A Multiple Item, also known as a Dutch auction, is where the seller has two or more items that are the same and is willing to break them up to sell to individual bidders.
This can be done as BUY NOW or AUCTION.
While browsing the auction listings you can see a blue square icon next to the auctions title.
This indicates that it is a Multiple Item Auction.

To buy, click on the title of the item you are interested in to view all details of that auction item..
Again you will see the blue square icon with an M, marking the auction as an Multiple Item Auction.
