and maybe offer a discount with combined purchases or some such thing.
Most sellers do.
It can be automated or you can refund the difference when you learn the weight and dimensions of the parcels.
I like to refund, because everyone likes an unexpected refund. Also I'm a techno-dolt and setting up combined shipping is beyond me. I do mention in my ToS that I combine shipping though.
While we're tearing your listings apart, you can greatly reduce your ToS :
I ship only to the US and Canada.
Already in your Shipping tab.
You don't do it now and so it doesn't apply to THIS sale.
Standard practice on eBay.
All orders will be mailed within three business days.
Most sellers promise one day shipping, but I understand you are living in an isolated area.
I accept payment via PayPal.
You have the PP logo on your listing. Even e-cheques are processed by PP, as are payments from 'guest ' buyers.
"Here's what I mean.
DISCLAIMER
Though many claim these stones have metaphysical qualities, they are being sold as stones and crystals, not as cures or to aid in physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual healing.......All crystals I sell will be bionized, which means they will be treated in a way that draws out any less than harmonious energies ....great for chakra work, healing, gridding, meditation, .....Let me know and I will add that energy to the stone you purchase once your payment is completed. "
I see now where your confusion sets in. The properties applied are actual energy properties. The disclaimer, is a legal necessity, as it could be inferred that I am selling a stone as a medical alternative, and of course I do not want that message being sent out. In selling crystals sometimes said type of contradiction is a necessary evil, and you will see this in various places, such as professional crystal seller blogs and websites. To eliminate the description as it is means that I cannot offer up my speciality to attract customers, and to eliminate the disclaimer sets me up for potential legal issues or misunderstandings.
"Also keep in mind that some of your potential customers are rockhounds and are not in any way interested in the 'energy ' of the rock."
I am probably better off to target those looking for the metaphysical explanation. The value in that is putting keywords out. I look at it this way--those who want the explanation will have one. Those that do not, don't need to read it 
"If you can see a way to add those 'energies' to your rocks after sale, you will have found a new profit stream. If you do a printed circular would be the easiest way to reach the appropriate buyers."
You have a strong point here, and I think I may well do this. I already can do distance spellbinding, conjure connections and enchantments, so yes. Thank you for this. As a matter of fact, thank you for raising a number of valid points today. On another day when I am less busy I am going to restructure my listings, with some of the ideas I was offered today in mind.
