Understanding combined shipping

@ashrog_5628   

Here's how to combine shipping as long as it's not a eBay International Shipping Program order. You can't combine shipping on EIS orders without a bit more work.  


You can not combine ANY authenticity guaranteed items. They must all ship separately.


#1 If the buyer has not paid yet here's how to send a combined shipping invoice: 


Go to your sold listings on a PC and select send invoice from next to one item. The next page will then have all of the items from your buyer. Weigh and measure the new package and then adjust the shipping price. You can look up the shipping price here: https://www.ebay.com/shp/Calculator


Send invoice: https://www.ebay.com/help/selling/getting-paid/sending-invoices-buyers?id=4139&st=

 

#2 If the buyer has already paid then you can send a partial refund for the shipping overcharge:

Go to the sold item and select Send Refund from the drop down menu next to the item.
Next screen select the reason for the refund> enter the amount> submit


#3 Also, when you print the shipping label it's VERY important to select all items and then select print label from the top of the list if the buyer did not pay from an invoice. Then on the next screen it will ask if you want to combine orders, say yes then adjust the package size and weight as needed. This way the tracking is applied to all items.

 

# 4 I suggest you allow combined shipping in your account settings so that in the future buyers can request an invoice from their cart:

@ashrog_5628.  You can't do this on the App.   If you don't have a computer then you have to use your phones browser for the full desktop site. 

 

 

 

Use your phone's browser and go to ebay.com and request the desktop site.  You will then have the same site as on a pc. You will have to zoom a lot but it does work. 
If it reverts to the mobile site then see below.

Android:
Chrome> Ebay.com> select the 3 dot Chrome menu in the upper right hand corner> select use desktop site

Iphone:
How to request the desktop version of a website in mobile Safari
Visit the affected site in Safari.
Tap and hold the Refresh button in the URL bar.
Tap Request Desktop Site.

The website will then reload as its desktop version
When the site resets, there is a blue square menu icon in the upper left corner. It must be clicked to reveal the sidebar showing the boxes to be checked for sold, complete, etc.

If the desktop site reverts to the eBay app:

If you have an Android device, then using the device manager, under Settings: Apps: eBay: Open by default -- there is a setting called "Open supported links" holding that down gives three choices: "Open in this app" "Ask every time" and "Don't open in this app". Choose "Don't open in this app". Changing that setting should prevent browser links from opening up in the app automatically.

If you have a Chromebook, open Chromebook Settings, scroll down to Google Play Store and select it. Select "Manage Android Preferences". From there the above instructions should work -- go to Apps: eBay: Open by default: Open supported links: "Don't open in this app". Then back out of the settings and you should be all set.

If you have an iOS device, try holding down the link -- you should see some options about how the link is opened that should be remembered for the next time you open such a link.

I got it up on web browser and I don't see the blue menu button you were talking about.

@ashrog_5628.  Are you trying to send an invoice with revised shipping.     Or issue a refund?

Trying to send an invoice for unpaid and paid orders. I'm hoping it won't cost me as much.

@ashrog_5628.  Then you need to do steps 1 and 3 from my instructions. 

 

 

Select send invoice from the drop down menu next to one of the items.
