It all depends on what is being combined.


If I sell 3 individual coins in a flip...yes, I could see the buyer expecting to combine shipping to the just one.

But if I sell 3 silver proof sets from 2009...it is unrealistic to assume that it will be the same price if my original price was based on weight for 1st class shipping.

I always tell buyers that I will combine shipping to the price of one, unless it exceeds the price of one, and then I will only charge the exact amount I pay to ship. Since I have a scale at home, or use priority flat in many cases, this is very easy to do.

When the items are in the cart, there is a "request total from seller" button. This allows the buyer to commit to buying the items, and the seller will send an invoice with the combined shipping. I have used it many times.

That's how it's done.

I am now able to add items to my cart. And I have learned some things. I don't know if this is the same for US sellers but for Canadian sellers the shipping discounts are NOT automatically applied (at least from US buyers). Having said that, you must request a total. But...if your using the US ebay that function will not work with Canadian sellers. I contacted the seller and he said I must use ebay.ca and voila, I was able to request a total. The exchange rate was pretty decent. I paid in CDN dollars and PayPal did the conversion. Pretty cool...

Just an after thought, some Canadian sellers listings are in USD and some in CDN dollars. And ebay makes you pay for those in a separate transaction because multiple currencies are involved.
