Automatic combined shipping?

[tthodgepodge]

Ran into a sale of 4 items to the same buyer.  Ebay automatically combined 3 into one "purchase" label.  Luckily by about 2 inches it worked out.  But a slightly smaller item and it would have been much cheaper to ship 2 and 2.  

Is there a way to break it up differently if you don't like how ebay did it?  This must be a new feature.  I haven't seen it before.  I suppose I could just manually change tracking numbers in the future but that seems like a pain and might open me up to fraud?

Anyone else seen this or had experience?

It was combined into one order because the buyer added all items to their shopping cart and made one payment. It's not a new feature by any means, but could be that your buyers typically make separate payments for everything so this is new to you.

All you need to do is purchase a shipping label, then go back to the order and use the option to purchase another label. You can assign up to 5 tracking numbers to each order.
