Volume Pricing - Help Please

Confused and frustrated here.  Will try to explain this in an understandable manner.

 

I am attempting to offer a tiered percentage volume price discount to all items I have listed in the Books category.

 

I have tried using both the Promoted and Markdown Manager portals.  Both take me to the same page where I can create the discount percentages and add listings to the promotion.  

 

Both times I have used the top navigation on the form to select my Store category.  Then I select books from the dropdown menu.  I select the top little box which puts a check mark at each listing.  The form then shows I have 200 listings added to the promotion.  

 

I chose buy 2 save 5% - buy 3 save 8% - buy 4 or more save 10%.

 

I do not check the box that creates the discount for individual listings as I want the discount to apply to all listings in my Book category.  Meaning that if a buyer purchases item A, item B and item C the discount would be applied to the entire order. 

Checking the apply to single listing would mean buyer would have to purchase 2 or more of the same item only.

 

I select the end date of the promotion.  Example Dec 31, 2020.

 

Everything looks fine so I click the launch button.

 

Well, I don't think it's fine.

 

When I look at one of my coloring book listings it states in red Save 10% or more at the top and shows the volume discount boxes.  BUT, the "see all items available" is missing.  I don't think the discount is being applied to multiple purchases of different book listings.

 

So I returned to my Promotions page.  The volume pricing I just created is there and shows as active but the number of items shows just a - line and no quantity.

 

What am I doing wrong?  

 

Extremely grateful for any help.  Thank you!!

It takes time to process through the system.  Give it more time and see what happens.

 

Ebay listings may also show the maximum they could save if they purchase from you.

Oh geez.  It's got to be messed up somehow.

 

One buyer just purchased 3 different sets of coloring books and did not receive the discount.  He paid for each item separately.

I don't believe the "save X% when buy 2"; "X% when buy 3"etc. is only good in 1 listing.

 

Does not work in purchasing items from separate listings. 

 

I've only seen that in individual listings of the same item.

Thanks for your help.  Sorry I have been unable to get back here sooner.

 

I ran a buy 2 or more save 10% promotion consisting of several hundred individual listings for a couple of years.  It was kind of a store wide sale.  

 

I have seen another seller's listing where there is a volume discount like I described offering  percentages off 2, off 3, and off 4 or more with the "see all items" link that contained numerous non-related listings.

 

Under markdown Manager it reads that I can create such a discount but maybe it's another eBay glitch.

 

I will give a percentage refund to the buyer's who purchased multiple items as promised in the listings. 

 

I'll keep trying.  

 

Thanks again!
