Buyers paying for several items and saving on shipping

[dmjm5901]

Hi All,

If I select Ebay managed payments while listing an item, does this allow buyers to add several items to their cart and save on shipping?

Currently, my listing have Immediate pay  on most all.

Thanks!

Buyers often do Not know how to Buy Several Items and have the Shipping Costs Combined..

There does not appear to be an easy method for them doing that..especially for inexperienced buyers...I always end up Refunding their Excess Shipping Costs and eBay now Refunds to the Seller some of the associated fees..If you Know in Advance that a Buyer will buy Several items..you can make the Shipping Free for Some of the Items..Before the Buyer pays...You need to tell them to Wait to Buy until you have done that...That method has worked well for me...

If the items are all different size/weight; best to just let them buy individually and then you can refund them. 

For instance, many of my items ship 1st Class, but buy 2 different items and they now weigh more than 16oz so there would be NO refund.

As far as we know, ebay considered all BINs sold to same person as single sales with each needing it's own thacking number. Also as far as we know you can't combine shipping of BINs to same buyer on the sold ... I mean order page.

And not so sure of this one - As far as we know, ebay considered all BINs with IP sold to same person as single sales with each needing it's own payment with the associated 0.30 processing fee. Again, not sure about last one.

If you have a person who has contacted you about buying multiple immediate payment BINs, ask them which ones they want and then change the price of one of those items to the cost of all items wanted - and if need be correct shipping cost/service - and have them buy only that one. If one of the things they want is your only one of that, use that one for the sale so the other can still 'run' and maybe be bought 'again' by someone else.  

That's how we do it on our id that sells same type items - records and sleeves - that can be easily shipped together. 

Now if sellers CAN combine shipping of BINs to same buyer on the sold ... I mean order page, and we just don't know it, please tell us and others how.

We even had bidders cancel bids on our other id and just add to this id's item.

Does above help you?
