I have mostly listed auctions for my coins. I use the simplified listing tool, as I'm a really small-time seller. I have combined-shipping enabled, but ebay doesn't automatically apply the rule. I'll send an updated invoice and have never had issues until I decided to try more "Buy it Now" listings. I have asked buyers of multiple BINs to put the items in their cart and then request an invoice. I don't how this works or if it works (I have never tried this as buyer - I almost exclusively favor auctions)

Today I had someone send a screenshot of his cart with a question about shipping, but the fact that he had the items in a cart didn't seem to allow me to send a corrected invoice. I ended up agreeing to enclose a refund with shipment.

Would appreciate any insights.

Last week I won four auction-style lots of stamps, and tried to to request a combined invoice from the seller. ebay has a method for doing this, but when I followed the steps properly, I got an error message that didn't let me proceed.

I then sent a message to the seller who noted that he would be away for a week, and waited a few days for a response, but got none.

Then ebay started sending me messages requesting me to pay the seller. I sent a message to ebay to report the glitch, but all I got was a message saying that ebay will NOT respond to my complaint. I ended up paying the individual shipping cost four times just to be done with it.

Classic Coins, I haven't run into problems so much with auctions. If you win an auction, but wait to pay, it's easy for a seller to send an invoice for one purchase, or if they win others, to update. It just occurred to me that maybe if I adjust my setting regarding immediate payment, I might be able to send a corrected invoice

Yes, I believe if you don't require immediate payment with BIN, you can send them an invoice once they purchase the item and adjust the shipping on the invoice.
