Mercantile is raised by the number of transactions so obviously
selling one by one would matter. How boring.

Getting better deals is (a better discount) on your sales is more
effective. This translates as a percentage of your sale. So getting
a better deal selling 100 arrows (where they are worth enough that you
can negotiate a discount) could actually help you more than selling
each one by one. Also, going for a better deal is not nearly so
boring....and gets you better deals later.

**And how do you get better deals?
I'm just asking to make sure I'm on the same page.
Is it by using the personality cloak or is it by moving
up the slider that controls what percentage you are buying and selling
for?

By moving the slider that says what you are paying. Pay attention to
the merchant's skill as you will not be able to get as good a deal
against experts as against novices. Your merchant skill, their
merchant skill and your personality seem to be the main factors in how
good of a deal you can get.

Which affects singly item sales of any value just as much as multiple
item sales. I've had a single iron arrow (1 gold) refused because the
slider was set too high for that character. I've also had a 4000 gold
item sale at 800 gold refused for the same reason even though in both
cases the final price was exactly the same with the slider set
correctly for that purchase.
Setting the slider high improves your money and affects your rating
but setting it high and selling single items improves your rating even
more. You still need the number of transactions to get to mastery. I
believe the number of 25,000 transactions has been bandied about.

I don't care about the deals as much as I do about what will raise the
Mercantile skill the most efficiently.

Well, that would be to keep the slider as high as possible and sell
single items. You still have to make some 25,000 sales no matter what
else you do.

Mercantile is leveled strictly by the number of transactions you complete. It takes >100,000 transactions to get to level 100.
The only reason to go past level 50 (where you get to sell anything to anyone) is to level Personality. By the time you get the higher level benefits you'll be collecting and selling Daedric armor and weapons and you won't need those benefits.
