Why do checkouts with a Paypal payment option combines amounts from different sellers? Misleading

Shopping cart.

Just pay for the ones you want to pay for.

Which should be all of them. You bought, why wouldn't you want to pay?

it's easy to get caught out if you've organised to pay on pickup for some items. By default, all of the items are ticked and you need to untick any items that you do not want to include in the payment.

If you were buying items at auction, and bidding on an item that ended in a day's time from the same seller as a recent purchase, you might well want to delay payment so as to combine postage.

(Not just a made up scenario, happened to one of my buyers from my selling ID).

People have been complaining about the lack of a shopping cart and a combined payment on the Aus site for years and now we have the facility, which you don't have to use, there are going to be complaints?

Looks to me as if ebay are dammned if they do and damned if they don't!
