Question

The vintage Nativity set I am selling is very heavy chalkware and also very large. The 23 pieces will need to be shipped in two boxes. How do I list or handle that?

Hi @bcae

I would like to add to what @jacbarcollectibles has provided. While it is possible to print UP TO 5 different shipping labels on one item sale the problem comes in when an item is returned. eBay has NO provisions to generate more than ONE return shipping label. So you would have to purchase a second label elsewhere and send it as a image file (NOT PDF) to the Buyer for the second package.

There is no way to have eBay calculate shipping with two or more boxes. When I have multiple boxes that need to be shipped I do not use calculated shipping. I go to the USPS website and figure roughly what it will cost to ship the boxes to the farthest zone at the Retail Price and then adjust item price and shipping charge so it is a reasonable split between the two (part of shipping is in the item price). Then I choose flat rate shipping for the shipping charge that I do not place in the item price. When the item sells you can print more than one label for the same order on eBay. What you do is select the choice for "print another label for this order" (Not "reprint "label that would be same exact label, tracking etc ) so you have the label for the other box.
