Shipping multiple packages from one order, How to?

[certimafied]

I want to post a set of wheels on eBay motors. I want to sell all 4 wheels in one auction but want to ship each wheel individually.  The wheels are fairly heavy and would be easier for me and any carrier if I ship them each individually. However I don't see a clear way to make this clear in the shipping options when I make the listing. 

Does anyone know of a way I can make this happen?

The only thing I can think of now is to figure out what the cost of one would be roughly, multiply it by 4 and then just set a hard shipping price based on that. There is a chance with this method that the buyer could possibly pay more or less than the actual cost of shipping.

Thanks for the help and suggestions!

The most accurate method would be to set up rate tables, using a flat rate (x4) based on zone.

It's still a flat rate method, but you can charge less for closer buyers and more for further buyers instead of working out an average.

Oh ok, Ill look into doing that.

Thanks for the advise!
