Sellers not combining items

[qazpolwertrip]

Whats the deal latley with buyers (me) buying more than one identical item from the same seller
and the seller is sending items individually?
What is so difficult about putting everything into one box so I receive all my items at the same time?
**bleep** I am the one who is paying for the postage.

Or, are sellers coming up with some way of making money on postage just like ebay does?
Or is ebay preventing people from combining postage in order to somhow get more commsion
on the postage that they dont provide?

this is not an isolated incident, this has been gone on quite a lot in the last few months.
I am fed up with this, Its no wonder I found somewhere else to shop
Ebay is appauling latley  and a lot of the sellers are dodgy as.

I think the problem is many eBay sellers are just ordinary people selling from home and don't know how to set up listings correctly for combining postage.

Also with eBay enforcing 'Immediate payment required', it means sellers cannot send a combined invoice.

Add to that, the cart has been problematic.

I usually refund excess postage if seller has purchased and paid before waiting for a combined invoice.

Its not just some ordinary home seller, 12000+ feedback in 8 years....
many other sellers with massive feedbacks in a short time as well.
If I ask for combined postage there's no answer.

(fe)ebay is corrupt.

Slightly Off topic .... it would seem Ebay censors product reviews. If its not 5 star rating its not published.

Was it a product review, or a seller review masquerading as a product review?

If you buy from overseas and the items are sent through the GSP they may not be sent together. Some of the big sellers don't combined postage because they have so much stock it isn't logistically possible.

my product review of a dodgy product which was sold buy an equally dodgy seller.
FYI item number is 153224464744

PS my review is still there, if I scroll down the page to "write a review"  what i wrote is still there.

Yet other big sellers on other major shopping sites can combine postage.

[davewil1964]

You've provided your own solution.

Or is it that these big sellers on other platforms still end up costing you more?

[qazpolwertrip]

various items I'm after don't cost anymore on other sites. Some items are a lot cheaper.

It is unfortunate that some items I am looking for are
not available on other sites yet are on ebay.
If everything I was looking for was available elsewhere I'd dump ebay in a heartbeat.
There was never a problem with combined postage in the past.
why does it have to be a big problem now?
