Note that buyers will not see a 'request total' button in their cart if they are using the ebay app.

Great news! eBay has an article on this: https://www.ebay.com/help/selling/shipping-items/shipping-rates/offering-combined-shipping?id=4169

If a buyer is purchasing multiple items from you, and they haven't already benefited from a shipping discount, they can select Request total from seller in their shopping cart. You can then send them an invoice with the new combined costs if you have combined invoices enabled on your account. Here's how to check:

On the Shipping Preferences - opens in new window or tab page, select Edit beside Allow combined payments and shipping.
Choose the time period during which you're willing to combine payment for purchased items and select Save.

You can then issue a combined invoice to your buyer. To do this from My eBay:

Go to the Sold - opens in new window or tab section.
Select the items you want to combine into a single invoice.
Add the new shipping charge.
From the Actions menu, select Send Invoice.

To issue a combined invoice from Seller Hub:

Go to Orders - opens in new window or tab.
Check the box beside any orders that need to be combined.
Select Send Invoice for any of the orders selected.

Combining shipping fees after the buyer paid

If a buyer has already paid for shipping, you can still offer a combined shipping discount by sending a partial refund to the buyer from the Orders - opens in new window or tab tab in Seller Hub or My eBay Sold - opens in new window or tab.

Shipping combined orders

Once the buyer has completed payment, you can create a shipping label from one of the orders and upload that tracking number for all of the items in the new combined order.
