Sorry I'm not a Snipping Tool expert so the above is hard to read.
Recently I went to my account settings > Business Policies and created a default Shipping policy (shown in wee print above) named Flat $.90 with a Standard Shipping cost of $.90 and a cost of $.10 for each additional item in a combined shipping order. I updated the descriptions on all my listings to state this. Currently 99 listings are using this default shipping policy. However if I go to an active listing and click on the shipping tab I see Free shipping for each additional item as follows:
Any help on making Snipping tool images larger would also be appreciated.

The ‘each additional’ field is for multiples of the same item. Look at an item of yours than has more than 1 available, like the birthday greeting. You will see the $.10 each additional correctly applied.
The fee for additional different items is controlled by shipping rules that you set here - https://www.ebay.com/ship/prf#. I can see in your post that you have the shipping rule box checked, so you must have a rule set up that adds 0 instead of the $.10. Edit that rule and the shipping should come out right,

Yes, you can set up lots of flat rate rules, so each needs a name.
When you click edit next to flat rate rules, a window opens. Below the rule you have set up, click add profile. It will add a line for the rule, and a box for the profile ID. Set up a rule just like the existing rule and give it a name. Save that. Then you can add more rules if you want them. I found it was always good to have at least 2 rules - sometimes the system won’t show you a list of just 1.
Auctions with bids can not be changed, so those items would not have picked up the new rule. You would have to look at each item in the group of 24 to see why those items didn't pick up the new rule - I don't know if it is worth the time.
I looked at a handful of your items, some with bids and some without. They all show the $.10 for additional items.
You can have both a combined shipping rule and a promo rule attached to each item. See the shipping tab on my item here - https://www.ebay.com/itm/334730328077. Mine says ‘seller offers combined shipping’ since my shipping is calculated. Yours will say $.10 each, as you saw before.
If you don’t want them both, instead of deleting the promo rule, remove it from all of your items using bulk edit. You can also use bulk edit to restore the combined shipping rule. I don’t think you can actually delete the promo rule - what you do is edit to be ‘no discount’. https://www.ebay.com/ship/prf
To use bulk edit, use the seller hub active view - https://www.ebay.com/sh/lst/active
Click where it says edit at the top of the list. This takes you to the main bulk edit page. Select all of the items again, then select domestic shipping under the bulk edit menu at the top of the list.
In the new window, select change to, then click combined shipping. Select change to, then check the apply my flat a shipping rule, click the arrow on the right to see your list of rules and select the one you want to use. Save - that takes you -
Back to the combined shipping window, if you want to remove the promo shipping rule, don’t check the promo rule box. If you do want to apply it, check it. Save - that takes you
Back to the domestic shipping window, click apply. That takes you back to the main edit window, click submit.
It is clunky to write out, but it will make sense when you get to the edit screen 🙂
You could also do them one at a time to get used to making the changes.
You’re very welcome 🙂
I now see the $.10 for additional items.
A regular promo rule should not wipe out your combined shipping rule. There is something odd that happens if you do a marketing promotion on shipping, but I don’t have a store any longer, so I can’t experiment with that.
You might try adding a new promo rule, and add it to just an item or 2 to see if the combined shipping rule stays in place.
