Edit Combined Payments
To offer combined shipping on your listings, you need to offer combined payments. After the time period expires, buyers will have to check out for each item one at a time.
Hi Susan,
I have always had it set that way. I checked my preferences anyway and still have the same settings. In the past, the shipping would not combine automatically when the time period expired. This time it combined purchases made 12 days apart even though my settings are for 7 days. And I do allow them to send one combined payment. Accepting them all separately would be too time consuming.
Xena,
I have very few buyers who want combined shipping over 7 days. Also I find it easier to manage within the 7 day period because there are so many who pay for items separately even when you tell them not to pay until they are finished shopping. I have one right now who has purchased multiple items and paid separately for them necessitating giving a refund on more than one of them because eBay will not let you give a bigger discount than the shipping total.
Basically, the system did not work this time and allowed the sales to be combined when they should not have. That is why I wonder if there is another glitch.
Thanks to both of you for your input.
Judy
