Combined Postage and Shipping Preferences
Summary: shindigs_party_supplies is facing an issue with their eBay shipping rate table, where different items add separate base rates leading to high costs for customers. They seek automatic solutions for combining rates for varied item purchases, as manually handling this across 13,000 listings is impractical. eBay's existing solution for combined postage is limited to desktop users, excluding mobile devices. twyngwyn mentions that a solution is forthcoming and provides a link for more information.
Hello everyone,
We're encountering an issue with our current shipping rate table configuration. While it efficiently calculates postage for multiple quantities of the same item, it incorrectly adds separate base rates for different items, leading to unexpectedly high shipping costs for our customers. Has anyone discovered a way to adjust rate tables or business policies to better support combined postage for varied item purchases?
eBay mentioned that buyers can request combined postage, but this option is only accessible on the desktop version and not available on mobile devices or the app.
With around 13,000 active listings on eBay, manually calculating combined shipping for each order isn't feasible for us. We believe that an automatic solution should be possible, especially since the system already combines the weight when it’s the same item.
If anyone has experience with a similar setup or suggestions on the necessary shipping preference settings, I’d appreciate your insights. Additionally, if fellow sellers with extensive catalogs have alternative strategies, sharing your ideas would be invaluable!
Thank you,
Shindigs Party Supplies
