Example; you buy 3 and I am able to charge for 1 shipping. The buyer pays for 1 shipping, I receive payment for 1 shipping, I am charged for 3 shippings.

 

Are you absolutely sure you are being overcharged? When buyers purchase multiple items the FVF on shipping is prorated across the items with a portion relative to the individual item value assigned to each item.

 

Let's use round numbers.....

 

Buyer purchase three items 1 x $5, 1 x $10, 1 x $20

 

Combined shipping of $10

FVF on shipping @ 10% = $1.00

 

In your account the $1 will be divided, 14 cents to the $5 item, 29 cents to the $10 item and 57 cents to the $20 item.

 

Of course it will only work this way if the buyer makes a single payment for all three items. If they make seperate payments and you refund the excess shipping then you will pay the full FVF on the non-discounted shipping amount.

1st item = 2.00 + 2.50 shipping

2nd item = 2.00 + 2.50 shipping

3rd item = 2.00 + 2.50 shipping

 

They request a combined shipping discount before they pay,

I charge = 2.50 for all 3 items and send an invoice for

$6.00 + 2.50 shipping = $8.50

 

The buyer pays, then ebay...

 charges final value fee on shipping for....

1st item = 2.50 shipping

2nd item =  2.50 shipping

3rd item = 2.50 shipping

 

not the $2.50 I charged and they paid.

 

I cannot explain it any simpler.
