New Listing Page equals New Shipping Perameters…I'm at a loss

[qtazza]

Just got hit with new listing page.

So…if I want to use Flat Shipping and offer Combined Shipping…it must be on Every Listing…big or small?

Only way around it, is to use Calculated Shipping on things I don’t want to combine?

This is NEW.

Just got off phone with eBay. Did I misunderstand??

I sell primarily tiny items, but not all…that's why it matters.

Most of your listings are for buttons with a separate $5.00 dollar shipping charge.

I recommend that you inflate the item price by $5.00 dollars and offer free shipping. The buyer can buy as many items as they want and you never have to fiddle with messaging, combined shipping invoices, etc.

This will save you time and secretly increase your profits if multiple purchases are made by the same buyer.

I thank you for taking the time to read and actually try to understand my issue. 

I did try free shipping a long time ago, but may be time to re-visit.  There are pros and cons. It doesn't work on lower end items, but can on the higher ones. I have lots of repeat buyers that love to combine, and they'll notice.  But….you've given me something to think about.
