One of the features of eBay's "Best Match" algorithm is that it takes into account recent sales. For example, when your multi-quantity, fixed-price listing makes sales it is given a boost in search compared to those listings that have had fewer sales. This boost is also carried over to the first relist as long as the original listings isn't changed significantly (title, price, etc). This algorithm along with the current fee structure encourages eBay sellers to place all their inventory within fewer listings
The problem with this algorithm is that it works contrary to buyer behavior. A buyer may be more likely to purchase an item from a seller if only a few items remain. A seller who lists all their items in one listing often finds themselves with little or no sales compared to one who only lists a fraction of their inventory within the listing.
