Edited, as I was under the impression same tracking can be used for multiple transactions.
DG it sounds like you are quoting PayPal so must need to send seperately.
It also stands to reason why so many state to wait for an invoice otherwise combined discount won't apply.
Some sellers have stated they've successfully defended INR claims with the same tracking information, but I don't know if that's by luck or slightly different, as Seller Protection is more about chargebacks (if a buyer's INR claim is unsuccessful, the seller keeps the money and the buyer is generally not refunded, so Seller Protection doesn't really apply. In the case of a credit card chargeback where the seller qualifies for protection, PayPal wil refund the amount without taking it from the seller, so I would expect that's where having individual proof of postage is more important).
I do state on my listings now that I will send each item separately if paid for separately, though few of my items are sent with tracking, mostly because I'm trying to actively discourage people from checking out separately then requesting combined discounts, which is becoming more and more difficult to facilitate due to PP and eBay fee changes.
Sometimes, though, what I have done is issue the excess postage refund from the lowest value item and sent them together with tracking, on the idea that if the transactions are disputed, I can defend the highest value item and just wear the loss on what remains of the lowest value item.
