Shipping more than 1 box in an order
I am shipping an item that requires more than 1 box. When listing it only allows me to put the shipping information for 1, not 3. How can I do that? Thanks.

I need to add to the previous post and the part that is often overlooked. The work around may work for Domestic shipments BUT if an item is returned to you eBay only generates ONE RETURN SHIPPING LABEL. That means YOU have to purchase and send the Buyer the other labels PLUS hope they put the right labels on the right packages. And just so you know, your No return policy is NOT protection against things being returned and you should seriously consider Accepting returns. eBay has numerous reasons Buyers can select that will force you to accept a return and take the money for the return label out of your account. It is covered int he eBay Money Back Guarantee : eBay Money Back Guarantee policy
Your items appear to be set up for EIS (eBay's International Shipping) and that complicates the entire shipping process on a multiple package shipment on the purchase of one item.
On a side note, eBay allows you to purchase and print up to 5 labels through their venue on one sold item.

It is possible to do this, but it is a bit of a challenge to set the correct shipping.
As you know, the in-listing shipping calculator only works for 1 box. Here is a workaround that may be helpful. Do both steps.
1) Use "buyer pays calculated shipping" and enter the details about the larger/heavier box.
And
2) Use eBay's shipping calculator to estimate shipping for the lighter/smaller box to a far-from-you place.
- Add the shipping amount for the lighter/smaller box to your selling price or in the "handling charge" field.
(repeat for 3rd box)

-- Here is eBay's shipping calculator - it will show the actual shipping cost for all 3 services from your zip to New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles (and any other zip code you want)
https://www.ebay.com/shp/Calculator
Just pick "Package", enter the weight, dimensions, and your zip code. Then click "Calculate Shipping".
Honolulu Zip Code 96801
Anchorage Zip Code 99501
NYC Zip Code 10001
WDC Zip Code 20001
Miami Zip Code 33101

SHIPPING
When you ship your item, here is how to print multiple labels for 1 order:
Enter the weight and dimensions for Box 1 and print the first label,
THEN you can print another label -
1) Go to the order https://www.ebay.com/mys/sold
2) Select View Order Details, then Get Another Label
3) Enter the correct weight and dimensions for your 2nd box and select Shipping Method and the correct label will print.
(repeat)
