I have several auctions pending for tonight on Ebay for a dinnerware set using the Dutch Auction format. This is my first time using it. I have used the fixed price format before for dinnerware where I had more than one plate, etc. and they could buy one or more. Any advice on using Dutch Auctions?

Seems to me that if you have more than one you might as well use Dutch rather than Fixed Price on-at-a-time.

As long as each item is identical...

Then a bidder doesn't have to bid on several Fixed Price auctions but can bid once on a bunch of dutch's.

Right?

Dutch auctions have the advantage.
The item could go up in price and bring more than you hoped for just like a regular auction.
That won't happen with fixed price!
