shipping 2 orders in same box

[wrathchild99]

Hi,

As a seller if a buyer purchases 2 items from you one after the other.

Can I just put both items in one box and use the same tracking number for both items?

I have done that ... don't know if it is "proper" .. but I sell low cost items

Yes, you can do it.  There are two ways.

When you use Bulk Shipping, the next page should tell you that you have 2 orders that can be combined - do you want to.  When you select yes, it will just ask you to enter the weights now.  Keep in mind that it will default you to "display shipping cost on label."  You'll have manually change it back.  The tracking info when then upload to both items.  It will also give you a combined packing slip, and show you they were combined in your history.

Or you can buy one label for one item and then input the tracking into the 2nd one.  This option won't give a combined packing slip.

I prefer the first method.

Most buyers would expect that.

No need to confuse noobs either by shipping 2 different packages.

Is it with free shipping? If it is i would and see no issue. It would mean the buyer gets both items.     Now if you charge shipping it should matter there as usually i on a knife will do say $4.25 for the first one and $1.00 for each additional. IN that case they go in one box.

THANK YOU!!!!

I have been having people buy items that can be shipped together as multiple individual BIN's  sales, and I found out that I cannot add tracking # 'a' to any of the other items, as all needing a tracking number of their own. Have called ebay NINE times about this and NOBODY told me about this bulk shipping deal.  They have 'allowed' me to not enter tracking or told me to get label from PO and hand enter tracking ... but NOBODY told me about this.

Again, THANK YOU!
