How do I combine 3 orders from the same buyer to ship in 1 box

Re: Combining shipping

From the shipping label page....

Select/check the 3 orders.

Then click on "print shipping labels" or something like that.

Then click on "combine orders" or something like that.

It will then create 1 label and 1 tracking number for all 3 orders.

Re: Combining shipping

You can buy the label for shipment and add the same tracking number to the other 2 orders from within the Orders Awaiting Shipping in Seller Hub.

 

IF, you want to refund a portion of shipping to the buyer, you can do that from the Paid and Shipped tab in the Orders folder in Seller Hub.  There is a pulldown there on the Order that allows for a refund.

Re: Combining shipping

First go here,


https://www.ebay.com/sh/ord/?filter=status:ALL_ORDERS


and click the box on the items you want to ship together. Then click on the "Shipping" drop-down and select "Purchase shipping label". That should take you here,


https://gslblui.ebay.com/gslblui/bulk


Click the boxes on the items you want to ship together and click on the "Combine" box. Next select the shipping service and fill in the other info (weights, etc.) and when you are finished click on the "Purchase label" box and you should be taken to the Print Label page. HTH.

Re: Combining shipping

Hi @uvon60 . In my opinion, the easiest and most efficient option is to go through bulk labels. You can access bulk labels through seller hub by clicking on multiple orders then using the buttons above for shipping, or you can switch to bulk labels from the single label page, or ... 

 

Go here: https://www.ebay.com/ship/bulk

 

Then look for this:

When that option appears the system will automatically combine eligible orders. When that option does not appear it means the orders can't be combined - maybe buyer used different guest IDs or it's eBay International Shipping and requires different labels or some other reason.

Yours was a lot more accurate than mine.    😉

Update your bookmark @bimm_corp . That's the old page and eventually the redirect will expire.

Definitely a valid option, but sellers using it need to be hyper vigilant about whether the orders can actually be combined.

 

Using bulk shipping eliminates that human error element and extra work in making the determination.

 

For example, spotting different guest IDs which are sometimes off by only 1 character, or eBay International Shipping transactions with different evtn codes.

I used to do it this way ... but one time it refused to let me add the same tracking number to another order.  It would give me some kind of duplicate tracking number error message.

Thanks for the heads-up.

Copy that. Just have not run into that yet... 

 

I did like the lesson posters provided on the bulk shipping option. I will give that a spin next time.

Thanks to all.
