Shipping for multiple items to same seller

[packratville]

If I have four individual listings, each with free shipping and immediate payment, and one buyer purchases two or more of them, can I combine shipping and use the same tracking number for each one purchased? Or, should I ship them individually?

As long as they go to the same address, why not?

You can combine them by simply adding the TRACKING number to the other 3 items once you 'purchase' a label for 1 of the items.

I wasn't sure if eBay allowed the same tracking number to be used for multiple items. I had read on a thread from a search that it wasn't allowed, but it was an older post.

If you go to bulk shipping......you can specify to combine them and the one tracking will show for both.......

If the buyer id's are the same then it IS possible to manually add the same tracking number.

Thanks. It makes sense to do that but I wanted to be sure. I've been on a long break and didn't want to take anything for granted.

Is that for purchasing labels through eBay? I use Pirate Ship.

Thanks! I wanted to be prepared just in case...

If you use Ebay labels:

1. Go to your awaiting shipment page: https://www.ebay.com/sh/ord/?filter=status:AWAITING_SHIPMENT
2. Select the items you want to combine, then click print shipping label from the drop down menu. This will show all your items together as one package with one tracking number.
3. Make your weight adjustments so you can print the label with the correct postage.
4. Print your label.

If you don't use Ebay labels, see if the info in this thread is still valid:  https://community.ebay.com/t5/Selling/How-to-add-one-tracking-number-to-a-multiple-item-shipment/m-p...

It's an older post of mine and I'm not sure if it still works since I use the first method I posted.

It is allowed. I do it all the time.

Ah, a familiar name! I remember you and your helpful posts from when I was active before.

Thanks for the information. If the situation arises, I'll try the information from the older post to see if it still works. I use Pirate Ship, but I could also use eBay labels.

Thanks!

Great, thanks!

I've combined with the same tracking number a number of times in the last year with no issues.

Thank you!
