How do bundles work?
A bundle on ArcBase is a way to sell or buy an ARC Raiders item in batches, for example 100 pieces at a time. The offer price is set per 1 bundle, and your trade partner chooses how many bundles to take. Without a bundle, the whole quantity goes in a single trade. Any remainder that does not fill a whole bundle is not sold.
How to turn on bundles
- 1.
Start creating a sell or buy listing and choose an item.
- 2.
In the "Quantity" field, enter how many pieces you are selling or buying in total.
- 3.
Turn on "Bundle".
- 4.
In the "Bundle size" field, enter how many pieces of the item go into 1 bundle. For example, 100.
- 5.
Add an offer. This is the price for 1 bundle, that is, for the 100 pieces you entered in "Bundle size". It is not the price for 1 piece and not the price for the whole "Quantity".
Below the form, the site sums up the terms. For example: "You are selling 250 pcs: 2 bundles of 100 pcs. A buyer takes as many bundles as they need. Another 50 pcs do not fill a bundle and will not be sold. The buyer pays your offer’s price for each bundle."
How is the price calculated with bundles?
The offer price is the price for 1 bundle. A bundle contains exactly as many pieces as you entered in "Bundle size".
Example: "Quantity" is 250, "Bundle size" is 100, the offer is 30 Credits.
1 bundle is 100 pieces. It costs 30 Credits.
The listing has 2 bundles in total: 200 pieces. The remaining 50 pieces are not sold.
A buyer takes 1 bundle: they get 100 pieces and pay 30 Credits.
A buyer takes 2 bundles: they get 200 pieces and pay 60 Credits.
Set the offer price for "Bundle size" pieces, not for 1 piece and not for the whole "Quantity". If you want 30 Credits for 100 pieces, with a bundle size of 100, enter 30 Credits.
What happens to the remainder?
If the quantity does not divide evenly by the bundle size, the remainder is not sold. For example, 250 pieces in bundles of 100 make 2 bundles. The other 50 pieces do not fit into bundles, and the site warns you about this below the form.
The listing closes when less than 1 whole bundle is left. In the example above, that happens after 2 bundles are sold.
What happens without bundles?
Without a bundle, your partner takes the whole quantity in a single trade, and the offer price applies to the whole quantity. For example, a buyer can take 250 pieces without a bundle only all at once.
How does a partner choose the number of bundles?
When a partner clicks "Trade" on a listing with bundles, they see the line "Available 2 bundles × 100 pcs" and choose the number they need. The quantity and the price in the trade are multiplied by that number.
In a "Buy" listing, bundles work the same way: the seller hands over as many bundles as they have.
How many items can you list?
"Quantity" in a listing: from 1 to 38,000,000.
"Bundle size": from 1 up to the "Quantity". Otherwise the site shows "Bundle size cannot exceed the listing quantity".
The quantity of an item or Seeds in an offer: from 1 to 1,000,000.
