I have purchased items from a few sellers that offer 30 days for payment. As a seller I would like to try that so that a customer can wait to see what new items I’m offering over the course of a month, and to be able to enjoy combined shipping. Does anybody have experience selling this way? Would I need to send a new revised invoice after each additional purchase? Any thoughts would be appreciated.

@peebro4321 I am flying by the seat of my pants here because I don't use combined shipping...but I would assume that you will need to set up the option for combined shipping invoices in your listing preferences, so "preferences" is the place that you need to be...from the help pages:
Sellers can offer shipping discounts to buyers who purchase multiple items.
Setting up automatic combined payments and shipping discounts | You can enable combined payments and select a time period for combined purchases as well as create rules around the shipping discounts you offer. You'll need to update your checkout preferences and enable eBay checkout if you're not already using it. Buyers who pay for all items at once using eBay checkout within the time period you've set will automatically get shipping discounts.

Manually offering shipping discounts for multiple purchases | If the buyer hasn't paid yet, you can combine multiple items on a single invoice. Go to My eBay > Sold > Awaiting payment. Choose the items you want to combine into a single invoice, and then select Send Invoice. If the buyer has already paid, you can combine any remaining items or send a revised invoice for a single item. On the revised invoice, enter a shipping discount in the Seller discounts or charges and send the revised invoice.

Is the seller doing that, or is it through PayPal Credit?

Hi, @peebro4321 I don't use combined shipping because my widgets don't combine easily for packing and I rarely use the auction format and always have IPR checked; however, according to the help pages you don't need to send a revised invoice after each additional purchase:
You can combine all the items a buyer bought from you in a 30-day period into one invoice.
Go to My eBay > Sold > Awaiting payment. Choose the items you want to combine into a single invoice, and then select Send Invoice. If you're having trouble sending a combined invoice, make sure Use Checkout is enabled as your Checkout Preference.

Am I not seeing the sold >awaiting payment because there is nothing actually awaiting payment, or, am I in the wrong place?
