Hi everyone, not sure if anyone else is having this problem? When a buyer wants to purchase more than one item from my store, I have always been able to send them an invoice with combined postage. They just hit the 'buy it now' button, but don't pay til they receive my invoice. It has always worked nicely. The problem is, they are now being taken straight to 'confirm and pay' without being able to ask for an invoice. I have contacted eBay and received this reply : Thanks for contacting eBay. I understand you want to know the reason why the buyers are ask to pay for item directly. Kelly, The update we have recently was for the "Unpaid Item Case Reduction". Where in all listing that has an amount of less than $1,000 instead of being taken to the Commit to Buy screen, buyers will be taken directly to the Immediate Pay screen. If you notice in the past, sellers have experience where their items are being committed to buy but don't pay for it. Since we received a lot of complains from buyer, eBay decided to initiate the changes to avoid high numbers of "Unpaid item." I'm not sure, if PayPal charged for refunds. But if you want to make sure, you can contact PayPal for this. Does this mean that eBay expect buyers to pay for shipping on each item, and then for me to refund them via PayPal? Coz a lot of buyers don't want to pay this big cost up front, and I don't blame them. I have been a seller for a couple of years and never had this problem. It's doing my head in! Help please! Thank you.
