Has the buyer paid?
You are not required to combine shipping, but if you can it's a good idea to do so.
1) Pack them together to see if they will fit inside a box safely. Ideally your box is less than 12x12x12, but if it's over a bit, that's ok.
2) Check to see if the combined box will save you any money.
-- Here is eBay's shipping calculator - it will show the actual shipping cost for all 3 services from your zip to your buyer's zip. Be sure to enter the ACTUAL weight and dimensions for the box with 3 purses.
https://www.ebay.com/shp/Calculator
Just pick "Package", enter the weight, dimensions, and your zip code. Then click "Calculate Shipping".
If you want to move ahead with combined shipping:
3) Cancel any shipping labels that are issued
Here's how to cancel (or void) an unused shipping label you purchased on eBay:
- Go to Manage shipping labels: https://www.ebay.com/ship/labels/my-ebay
- Find the item you'd like to cancel the shipping label for, then from the Actions column, select CANCEL.
- Choose your reason for canceling the label.
- Select Cancel shipping label.
You have 28 days to cancel a label. The refund will come about 21 days after you cancel.

4) Get 1 new label
Combine the orders before selecting a label using the "bulk shipping" tool on the browser.
Put a checkmark to the left of your items on this page
https://www.ebay.com/sh/ord/?filter=status:AWAITING_SHIPMENT
Select "Shipping" above
https://www.ebay.com/ship/bulk
On the next screen it will ask if you want to 'combine' the orders. Check that box.
Enter the weight and dimensions for the package and print your label.
5) Send a partial refund to the buyer, send a small amount on each of the 3 orders, don't apply it just to one order.
1) Go to your Sold order here: https://www.ebay.com/mys/sold
2) Select "Send Refund" from the drop-down list to the right.
3) You will be able to select the exact amount of the refund to send.
4) Confirm the refund
Let me know if you get stuck.
