I bought some to try out & never did list it. Now may be a good time for projects :-)
Is it better to sell them in multiples or individually (when it's the same pattern)? TIA.

Usually a pattern number and dye-lot or run number is printed on each roll. So it's better to sell them together for uniformity of the cut and shade, as different lots may vary in this and not match as well when up on the wall.
If someone is just trying to match a section of damaged paper already in their home I guess that won't matter as they'll never get the exact shade match. You might want to specify all number info in the listing in case someone is looking for a pattern with a specific dye lot/run number.

If it's all the same pattern and lot, you can use one listing but with multi-quantity. That way the buyer can buy as many rolls as they need.

Thank you both. I did not know about the lots, so I'll have to check that. The MQ makes sense. This first one is a border, so lot may not be quite as important.

Lot matters with borders too. Lots are more about color consistency than pattern.

Lots #'s matter on borders too. We didn't know about lot #'s and just bought 3 packages. Turns out they were different lots and the pattern didn't match at all.
I sold 3 rolls of discontinued wallpaper (same lot #) a few years ago and sold as a lot. IIRC, it sold within the first week.

I used to use borders a lot (easy way to spruce up an apartment and easy to remove before moving out). It usually took at least 2 rolls per room and I always matched lots.

If you sell them individually you might get stuck with some because you typically need more than roll for just about any project you do. If I found a pattern that I liked, I would probably be more willing to buy too much than risk not being able to get enough for my project.
