On eBay, shipping costs can add up fast, so buyers and sellers need to know how to ship items together. If you need to learn how to combine Shipping, you may pay more for the things you want to buy than they are worth, and you’ll have to pay more than the shipping cost.
For some brands, you have to pay shipping fees for each item. For other things from the same brand, there is only one shipping fee. In this case, the shipping costs are twice as much as the item itself. But you don’t have to do that if you shop on eBay, where sellers can offer joint shipping.
How to Combine Shipping on eBay (Buyers)
Here is a step-by-step guide on how to combine Shipping on eBay:
- Start up the eBay app.
- Sign in to your eBay account from any device—PC, Mac, or mobile phone.
- There is an icon that says “My eBay” in the top right corner.
- If you click on it, you’ll be taken to your account page.
- Press “Sold” in the window on the left.
- If you want to join boxes, all you have to do is click on them.
- You just need to click on the boxes on the left side of the item’s picture or title.
- Finally, you need to make the bill by changing the shipping cost by clicking on it.
- Finally, click “send invoices” to finish the process.
How to Combine Shipping on eBay Automatically (Seller)
Can you mix Shipping for me automatically? Doing it by hand every time is a pain. Several users were having trouble with this problem. Because of this, eBay lets buyers combine shipping costs automatically and lets you set new rates for bills. You can add invoices immediately to every shipment you make:
- Start up the eBay app on your phone or tablet.
- On your device, go to the page that says “Combined payments and shopping discounts.”
- To make changes to the settings for Combined payments, click on Create or Edit.
- If this choice hasn’t been chosen yet, click on it and make sure that “allowing buyers to send combined payment” is turned on for all of their purchases.
- Last but not least, choose how long users will be able to use the feature. This way, you can limit the time people can use it.
- Finally, click “Save.” From now on, these choices will be used for all purchases.
Apart from that, you can make some changes as well.
- You can turn on the flat shipping rule under the part for combined shipping discounts.
- Because of the flat shipping rule, the best rates are set for each item after the first buy.
- After that, you can add some more things to it in smaller pieces.
How to Combine Shipping on eBay through Multiple Ways
- You can also add it to the weight of the item instead of the flat fee (mixed shipping rates).

- You can choose whether to add up the weights of all the items or just one or more of them.
- You can also take a certain amount off the price of each extra item you buy.
- After making your choice, remember to click “Save” to ensure that the joint shipping offer takes effect.
