The 'stack' number is also the maximum number of that item that you can sell in a single Auction House sale.

When you drag a stack, from say your inventory to your bank, a pop-up will allow you to 'split the stack' into two smaller stacks of a size you can select.
Thanks so much for that- Also glad to see you helping other players on different threads~
Keep it up, dude <3
