New Bundled Discounts Option?
Summary: christworks noticed an issue with opting into a new bundled discounts feature, where the option to select was grayed out. thriftyfiftyfifty mentioned encountering this earlier and linked to a discussion about it, indicating that further updates might be forthcoming. lakefor94 offered complimentary Promoted Listings as a temporary fix, while mamacassidy confirmed that the feature appears to be available on the app and provided guidance on finding and disabling it if it was auto-applied to listings. stainlessenginecovers compared the feature to existing 'order discounts' options but noted a global and permanent application without setting end dates. Participants expressed interest in how the feature will handle returns and refunds.
I've not seen this before. I cannot opt into it as the radial buttons are grayed out. Has anyone else seen this or used it? Anybody know of how to opt in?
If I have discovered something new, is there a prize? Free shipping for a year? That may be asking too much. :)

路1 week agoThis seems to be the same thing as 'order discounts' in the 'marketing' tab...been on there for years.
You can do 'item quantity' or 'dollar spent' and a dozen other 'types' of discounts.

OP1 week agoBased on @mamacassidy 's screen shot it's similar but unlike the settings under Marketing this would apply globally and permanently. No need to select an end date.

路1 week agoMany of the settings on the Marketing tab have 'end dates' of years from now...no idea why in the world a seller would NOT want to control the end date anyway...so that 'bundle thingy' will probably change that when ready.

OP1 week ago@stainlessenginecovers I am aware you can set some of those up for an extended period using a coupon. I would like to have an option that I could set and not have to worry with. I don't need it classified under marketing as a coupon. I like to use my coupon for other discounts. With what appears to be a new global option, it will be possible to have a 10% coupon, for example, and still offer bundled savings throughout the store. Perhaps they will have a banner or something that alerts buyers they can bundle and save.

路1 week agoGo to your account settings. Under Selling, click on Bundle Discounts. Then toggle Off. It should look like the picture shown in by the OP in his original post.
christworks
OP1 week agoThat's funny because they specifically say you cannot be auto opted in. I need to go check mine.

OP1 week ago@mamacassidy Where are you finding 'bundle' in the app? I've gone through the selling and my eBay tabs I don't see it.

路1 week agoI can't give the OK on free shipping but can put you down for complimentary Promoted Listings General for 6 months.

OP1 week ago@lakefor94 You'll have to give it to @thriftyfiftyfifty . They posted about this ten days ago. I'm late to the party. Good thing I didn't ask for what I'd really like. 馃槷馃榿

路1 week ago@christworks Yup, I saw it for the first time on the 16th and posted about it. Read the Guidelines, but can't go any further. Must be forthcoming...https://community.ebay.com/forum/selling-57920/topic/bundle-discounts-an-opt-in-option-469682/?focus_post=1801692

OP1 week ago@thriftyfiftyfifty Thank you. I must have missed your post.
I'm glad to see they are going to have a universal option.
thriftyfiftyfifty
路1 week agoYup, will be interesting with their Math especially with Returns/Refunds.
christworks
OP1 week ago@thriftyfiftyfifty Yeah I was reading about that. Hopefully the reason why they've not launched it is so they can tweak how that will work.
