    Default Combining postage on auction invoice for seller (better yet buyer??)

    Apologies if this has been mentioned before - I found a similar thread about BIN sales, but my request is a bit different.

    I sell photos and many times a buyer will bid on two or more pictures (separate auctions). All my auctions state that ALL wins will be posted together for a single P&P fee.
    But when I prepare the invoice I find the select postage discount mechanism clumsy and error prone. I have to do my own sums to work out a discount of n-1 postage charges and be very careful to select £ discount rather than %.

    Am I missing an easy method?

    Is there any way to automate - "all items for a single P&P charge" (pick the highest if charges differ between won items) ???

    As I have never bought multiple items here - I don't know what options a buyer gets when he "Pays" - is (s)he allowed to combine postage??

    (business picking up slowly - so an improvement here will be a great advantage when it starts to BOOM)

    There is only the % or monetary symbol available at the moment.

    It is very easy to adjust invoice before sending it. The % or $(monetary) is easy to use.

    I agree there needs to be an easy method...an option also to pay for multiple items without having to wait for invoice. I just purchased 3 items from one seller and when I went to pay it would only do one at a time so I cancelled and will wait for invoice! It is better on the paypal fees I believe, for the seller.

    It certainly does lower the transaction fees on PP and GC for sellers when buyers wait for combined invoices.

    I'm confused-I sold 2 items but there is no option to send a combined invoice. Is there a way or I just can't find it?

    If you are asking how to combine postage, you have to manually adjust the amount in the postage section. Click on £ not %.

    When you click on send Invoice in the AAL, there should be a box at the top of Invoice on next screen saying "Add this item to Invoice" - clickon that so that both items are showing together before you add payment terms/options in the 'Notes' box below.

    Hope this makes sense
