So I was gonna buy 3 coins on ebay and get combined shipping. I added the coins to my cart. Then I clicked request total from the seller only to go to a page that says the seller doesn't offer combined shipping. However, they do! I have contacted the seller and awaiting a response. Why does this happen? The seller is from British Colombia, Canada. I tried this from ebay.ca and ebay.com with the same result.

I think that this has something to do with the ebay software.
When a buyer wins 2 or more of my ebay offerings I will send an invoice with the combined shipping fees as soon as I can to avoid the rigmarole of issuing a refund for the extra postage that appears on the ebay invoice.

This happened to me as a seller. I offer combined postage on everything but I have to edit the invoice first. Sometimes it is better to let the seller edit the invoice as they know exactly the weight and dimensions of the parcel in order to give you a figure. If it is a standardised fixed figure for combining postage, then you could end up paying a lot more than you should.

Basically, its easier to do with coins. But if I sold a coin and then the same buyer bought a coin case, I can't have had the amounts put in before as it would be impossible to have combination prices for every item I list, if that makes sense? I always send a revised invoice, its just easier.
Rest in Peace

Simply send the seller and email and ask for a combined shipping invoice. Once you receive it, pay it, and you are done.

Send the seller a message after you buy the items and ask for a refund of shipping fees. That's what I did.

That's pretty much what the seller told me. I just wish the checkout process was handled better so there would be no need for this.

Why couldn't the seller just send you an invoice with the correct shipping on it?
