I see all kinds of post on how to combine shipping but not much on this. The answers I have found by searching do not work or they are outdated.
I am having a problem with combined shipping on multiple items when bought from the same auction. For example if I have 5 items available in the same auction and the weight is listed as 1lb for each item then they buy 5 items the total wieght wold be 5lbs. eBay is not combing the weight and not making it 5lbs total but is only charging them for 1 lb so the person is paying a lower shipping charge than I am being charged.
1) I am using "calculated shipping based on buyer location"
2) I found Under Calculated shipping rule it says:
"Shipping Discount Profile: Combine all item weights." So that appears to be correct.
3) The shipping type i am using is USPS Priority mail
4) When I do create a shipping rule there is a box for:
"Combined shipping discounts Apply my calculated shipping rule"
What exactly is that box for? I would assume it creates more of a discount which would not help?
What am I missing? It has happened multiple times and some of these items are 5 or 6 lbs apiece so there can be a pretty lower amount being charged if the shipping is calculated for 1 lb and not 5lb.
