Users Can Now Purchase Up To 30 Items At Once On NFT Marketplace OpenSea

OpenSea, the world's largest marketplace for non-fungible tokens (NFTs), has announced that it is now allowing users to purchase up to 30 items at once.

The NFT marketplace confirmed in a Twitter thread Wednesday that any user can now buy up to 30 collectibles in just one go as long as the items belong to the same chain. For instance, they cannot mix Ethereum digital collectibles with Polygon-based digital collectibles.

"In your collected items tab you can access bulk listings by clicking on the '+' symbol when you hover over an item card or by clicking 'list for sale' in the 'More Options' drop-down. You'll then be able to select up to 30 items to list at once," OpenSea noted in one of its tweets.

Interestingly, this will help users save a staggering amount on gas fees.

Suppose a user purchases a Meebits, a CryptoPunk and a Bored Ape Yacht, all belonging to the Ethereum blockchain, and has to pay 100 ETH. If they complete the purchase in one transaction, they only have to pay a single gas fee. However, if they buy the items separately, meaning one transaction for every NFT, they will be required to pay a separate gas fee for every transaction. It is worth noting that gas fees sometimes climb as high as hundreds of dollars.

In September, OpenSea debuted a new initiative that makes it quite easy for creators to come up with NFTs and distribute them to potential buyers. For this, the NFT marketplace introduced customizable and dedicated drop pages for each artist through which they can showcase their collections more effectively.

"Drop pages will include information about the drop, the minting schedule, a countdown clock, and of course — an NFT gallery. We'll also allow collectors to set alerts via email or add to their calendar to remind them when to return to mint," OpenSea said in an announcement at the time.
