Combined shipping

Summary: doumac-5 shares a frustrating experience with eBay, where a recent issue with order discrepancies led them to cancel an entire order due to the inability to combine shipping for international purchases. They question the value of maintaining their eBay account if shipping savings are unachievable. lotzofuniquegoodies comments on the absence of an option to send revised invoices, noting recent difficulties with this feature, while pjcdn2005 mentions that eBay is gradually introducing combined shipping for international orders, though it hasn't been implemented by all sellers yet. This slow rollout is attributed to ongoing adjustments by eBay. The discussion highlights concerns over eBay's handling of combined shipping options.

ized order with a sellers in the USA who I have bought from several times , I put 22 items in my cart and when i went to pay only 14 showed up so I questioned this descrepancy only to be informat EB does not allo combined shipping on intenatioal shipemnts which is certan news to me so as I was quite disappointed with this news I simply cancelled the entire order - after all the reason I increased the quantiy of items was to save on shipping Now i have to decide wheter or not to continue with my E Bay account or not if her is no benefit on making larger orders to obtain better shipping prices then EBay becomes a useless proprsition

EBay is introducing combined shipping for eBay international shipping but I don't think that all sellers have it. They are rolling it out slowly.

I think that it was a mistake not to have it set up when they started the program but for some reason they decided to start it later on.

@doumac-5

@devon@ebay Has the option for sellers to send revised invoices been turned off? With a couple of recent orders this feature was missing from the dropdown. (The customer had not paid unless it was in a state of processing.). In speaking to 1 other seller they were also unable to find the option to send a revised invoice. Unsure if it repopulates when there is major delay in a buyer paying. Often when you are able to send a revised invoice it avoids the necessity to send a refund for overpayment of shipping.

There were a few posts on theUS board saying that when they tried to send an invoice a message popped up saying that they could only do so if they are adjusting the shipping cost as in for multiple purchases. Since they did get the message they must be seeing the send invoice option but can’t follow through.

It appears they are tinkering with the settings on this. Most likely a work in progress.
