Combine your Items being sent for Authentication

When shipping multiple orders for Ebay authentication, why should I waste money sending 2 or 3 or 4 separate packages to the exact same location?  SO.......I started combining them in the same FedEx insured box, each separately packed inside with a packing slip so there should be no confusion.  I also put all the names, and the ebay ID numbers on the label separated with "&".  So far, so good, 2 of 3 have already been authenticated, and all show as received.  I just send my 2nd package out like this as well.  The only thing is, you can only add the actual tracking number to 1 of the packages, the others you just have to mark as shipped.  

 

This will save me hundreds of dollars, but Ebay does not have any official way for you to do this.  So, do this at your own risk of course, happy selling!

Definitely not a risk I would take!

I would treat each order separate and even spend a little extra if needed for signature required at delivery to the authenticator's location. The shipping fee you charge should cover that cost. 

 

you're possibly relying / gambling on a $10 to $15 per hour employee to open a package of 4 to 5 items and separate correctly. 

 

I don't think all authentication of eBay products / categories go to the same location.

So far it's worked just fine. But I do see your point
