I keep getting an error message saying to enter an amount less than $0.00 and when I type in $-3.00 to the discount box it just tells me again that I must type in an amount less than $0.00. You should be able to offer a discount for multiple buys!
Ebays theory is that postage is actually free
so there is nothing to discount.
It is the one major drawback of the whole free post debate.
If someone asks me, I temporarily add in a best offer option on one of the items, then use that to accomodate any discount.
Most of my items are 300-500gms. So buy two and it goes to a 3kg satchelsso theres not much postage saving until you get 3 in a satchel.
Although my method works it doesn't get around the first impreession any browser may get that its not possible. So yes I will be losing sales because of this. Its swings and roundabouts, lose for this reason and win others because they like free post.
I dont add it in, I just sell for best price I can get postage cost will be whatever it will be, like any other overhead. Buyers decide for themselves how much they are willing to pay in total. My items are individuals and dont have "market rates", so there is no going rate onto which a postage mark up can be added.
