The seller combines purchased items NOT ebay. The buyer can pay for multiple purchases in ONE payment if they want to by ticking all the purchases to pay as a combined lot to the one seller. If the buyer wants a combined invoice to get to cheaper postage when offered then they can request that from the seller If the buyer purchases 1 item then pays and then purchases a second item then pays for that then why is that ebay's fault?

Sparklz - unfortunately it doesn't always happen like that.

Recently I made three purchases from the one Seller.

After finishing shopping I went through checkout, ticked all the boxes for them to be paid together and made one payment.

When the email came through from Paypal it came as a receipt for Multiple payments - even though I had only made one payment.

When I checked back on ebay they had split the order into two and when I checked with the seller they had received two separate payments.

I have no idea where the order was split - I suspect when it went through Paypal as up to that point they all appeared to be on the one transaction.

I could see no reason as to why it went through as two transactions instead of one but that is what happened.
