I am not sure if the problem still exist. But the solution suggested by fiver did not work for me. What works for me is overriding the get_serializer method ONLY.

def get_serializer(self, instance=None, data=None,
                    files=None, many=True, partial=False):
    return super(ViewName, self).get_serializer(instance, data, files,
                                                    many, partial)

If you will notice I am setting default many=True in arguments of get_serializer. Apart from that nothing is required. Overridng of create method is also not required.

Also if you are defining the pre_save and post_save method in the views, expects the list(iterable) as the argument(as you are posting the list) of method not just a single object.

def post_save(self, objects, *args, **kwargs):
    """
    In the post_save, list of obj has been created
    """
    for obj in objects:
        do_something_with(obj)
