Dishes are one of the toughest sells anymore, whether selling on eBay or outside of eBay. It depends entirely on what your set is to determine which way of selling it is best. If it's a gorgeous vintage or antique set by a hard to find manufacturer and is in perfect condition, then I would do as slippinjimmy suggests and try it out as a complete set, only price it even higher than you're hoping because of the huge pain it's going to be to pack it, especially if there are serving pieces in it.

I've sold a couple complete sets of dishes long ago in the past, when they were actually in demand, and it's nothing but worrying about the package from the time you ship it until the time the buyer gives gives you indication that they received the set and they love it.

If the dishes are of the common variety that can be found all over eBay World, then I would probably get rid of them elsewhere like on FB Marketplace or in a B&M auction for whatever they would go for, which probably wouldn't be too much.  To sell a commonplace set on eBay, I would probably split it up because there are often more buyers that have the same dishes already but are looking for certain pieces of the set to replace damaged ones they have. I know of an eBay buyer near me who has a lot of time on his hands who will buy a complete set of dishes for next to nothing and make pretty good money by peacemealing it out because he knows there are lots of people who will often pay more for a dish or two than what they're worth when buying to replace one or two of their damaged ones.
