Combined Postage discount with small value items

Hi Ebay Community,



I wish to buy several tshirts listed individually by a seller. However if I were to buy them 1 at a time it would not be worth my while. Is it possible to change the contract so that I only buy if I win 3+ items? What's the accepted process?



Cheers

If I want to buy a few things from the same seller, I'll generally check out their description for details about combined postage. If it's reasonable, I proceed to buy. If nothing's listed, I'd probably just message them and ask, as I usually do that when something isn't listed that's important to know. Most sellers are good and reply within 24hrs.

 Especially for some items postage & handling (without the final value fee loophole) p&h is double or triple the value of the goods


 



 


In the most part, an items value has nothing to do with how much it costs to post. Unless the packaged item is less than 20mm thick, the cheapest parcel rate within Australia is $6.60 (or $6.20 + satchel cost with click and send) plus packaging costs.


 


A second hand dress costs the same to post as a new one. A designer handbag costs just as much to post as one from a discount store.
