Last sentence - big tick !!

I've been out of things for a while and just starting to get a hang of what's going on. 

For years, whether it be BIN or Auction, I've been able to do combined invoices, but it seems that eBay has changed my settings without any advice to me that they were doing so.  Not happy about that.

I had a recent enquiry as to postage cost if the buyer bought 2 items, and I quoted a figure which was happily accepted.  I did say not to pay immediately as I would send a combined invoice, and as an afterthought said 'unless eBay has shifted the goal posts'.  And sure enough they had!.  So my buyer had to pay postage twice, with me doing the overpayment refund through PP and then having to get a credit from eBay on post FVF.

If eBay was a normally run business it wouldn't be around for too long with that sort of rip-off.  But as it IS eBay, and a lot of sellers don't/can't be bothered requesting their small refunds ('cos of the time it takes to get hold of someone/anyone), eBay is making a hell of a lot of additional money.
