Postage Discounts

You can offer shipping discounts to buyers when they buy more than one item at a time. To set up shipping discounts for combined payments, go to Shipping and Discount Preferences in the eBay Preferences section in My eBay. Within the preferences, turn on the shipping preference for "Allow buyers to combine items."

When a buyer purchases one of your items, a message will appear showing the availability of a discount if the buyer buys more items from you and combines the shipping. If payments for more than one item are combined and your shipping discounts preference is activated, eBay will automatically calculate the shipping discount and deduct it from the total cost of the purchase when buyers initiate payment. The calculated shipping savings will be shown to your buyers when they complete payment.

When you list an item that you want to exclude from the shipping discount, deselect the "Apply a shipping discount if the buyer purchases multiple items from me" checkbox option on the Sell Your Item form. A buyer may still send a combined payment to you, but the shipping discount will not be applied.
