Putting mutiple items in shopping cart to request final total
The most common problem I encounter is a buyer wanting to buy a couple items but need an invoice before paying that shows my discounts for combined shipping. Buyers often say they don't get this option to put items in cart but have to pay for each item. What step are they missing on their end or is this a problem I created.

·3 years agoEBAY TRIES TO DEFEAT PEOPLE FROM POSTING MESSAGES HERE THEY DON'T LIKE! What a joke ebay is.

Recently I added 10 items from one seller into my cart.  When I went to pay I noticed each item showed $10.75 (for USPS 1st class?) - for a total of $107.50 to ship 10 small items that would all fit easily into a USPS FLAT RATE MEDIUM BOX for $17.50.  So, well I thought, I'll do a REQUEST TOTAL to see if seller can combine shipping but, if you notice - upon making that request your are COMMITTING TO PURCHASE without an answer to your question.  LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Needless to say I cancelled all the items and that seller lost out on a very nice multiple-item sale, I'm not going to waste my time sending a message to a seller for each item I want to purchase or get caught out by ebay forcing me to commit to purchase for asking the seller a question. Bad system, ebay - but so typical. If you're a seller that knows your customers often make multiple-item purchases and you do not indicate in your listings that you COMBINE SHIPPING I will bypass you and your offerings.Â

·3 years agoZOMBIE THREAD FROM 2021
Â
The problem with zombie threads is that the information is often out of date and no longer useful.
In this case eBay no longer allows sellers to use Paypal and almost everyone has set up a Managed Payments account.

If you have a problem it is best to start a new thread than to add to a long dead discussion.

·3 years agoYes, it is a zombie thread, but it makes it even sadder because it is still a problem!!! Yesterday a buyer tried to get an invoice for a combined shipping amount for 5 items, wouldn't work. I usually end up sending a special listing. Surely after all this time it should have been fixed!!
