I have a buyer who is interested in three of my listings. I told her to put the items in her cart and request a total from me. My understanding is that I then create an invoice for her. Can I reduce the price of the items that I am selling on the inv...

Protection plans

Why doesn't ebay allow sellers to have an option to add the protection to be included in the sale of their listing. For example I add the protection plan to be included in the sale and when someone buys my listing Ebay removes the cost of the plan in...
