Combined shipping

[preluvdstuff]

Question to the topic of combined shipping.  I realize this may be really hard to answer. Is there an Ebay or seller standard for the amount of discount provided for combined shipping?    For example, I am considering combine all item weights and subtract 16 ounces.   Or is there a better way to do it.  I appreciate any help with this as I am sort of new to selling and want to stay within the community norm.

Thanks again

No standard discount, and in fact, there's no requirement for sellers to combine shipping or if they do combine, no requirement for them to reduce the price.

 I see that combined shipping was explained to you in another thread so I won't get into that.  Perhaps I'm getting the wrong impression, but you seem to think that you need to combine shipping and subtract an amount and I don't think that is true in most cases.  For example, if you are using calculated shipping and you set up a combined shipping rule to add together the weights, the total given to the buyer should be fairly accurate unless the added items cause you to use a bigger box or use a different service.

For example, if you sell an item that is 3 ounces and 5 ounces, the calculator would charge the buyer for an 8 ounce packages.  You don't need to add or subtract anything.

Perhaps I'm missing something in which case I'm sure that someone will correct me or explain. 🙂
