Dutch Bidding
Allow for multi-sale (i.e. multi-winner) biddable packages. If there are 10 of the package available, then the highest 10 bidders would each win one.
Online dutch bidding will not be supported. It is too complicated for most bidders to understand. Even eBay has discontinued its dutch bidding feature for similar reasons. However, we are developing a solution to accommodate multiple-winner biddable packages for the silent/live auction – but not for eBidding.

I need to be able to do this for a live auction. We sell baked goods and will have ten pies that will be divided among ten different bidders. We also sell farm goods, like bags of grain and it's the same situation. We need to be able to auction them off once but split them between multiple people.

YES. I saw the doc that provides the work-around for silent, but I need to be able to do this online, too, since this is how MOST of our "teacher time" donations are auctioned off, and not being able to do it online is a huge disappointment (I saw the doc with the workaround for in person, but that's not enough)
