The final improvement to make such a system work would be the removal of the BIN button and only retain 'add to cart'.
I actually just wanted to put this up as a standalone request, regardless of any improvements to postage options (on the proviso all bugs and glitches currently affecting the cart system are resolved).
I recently had a buyer purchase and checkout separately for more than 10 items, consequently paying an excessive amount of postage since I offer free postage on all additional items when one payment is made (not to mention increasing the FVF on P&H by more than 10X). This sort of thing is happening far too often to many sellers, and it can only be because buying all items they are interested in and making one payment is not intuitive for buyers, which is bad for everyone (even ebay, despite the extra revenue that it may generate in the short term).
see, I think iot would be very effective for the "free post" option - but to the detriment of buyers and sellers as you have shown it's tricky to combine post etc - but do we want to give ebay incentive to push free post even more?
They'll just say "well, we are now forcing everyone into free post cos you guys asked for a method of instant payment etc - so we are striving to make you happy, ya know? and make your eBay experience everything you dreamed of.
Don't get me wrong - I love the idea - and if it does come in, naturally I will adjust, but....,.
we do already have the choice of automatic BIN payment if we want it, and I use that on some items too - but I do like it as a choice, rather than mandatory iykwim
This wasn't really about immediate payment, though, more about how buyers shop for multiple items in general. What I want is for buyers to get a very clear indication that they can continue to shop from me after committing to buy an item, so that they aren't encouraged or compelled to proceed directly to checkout then look buy another item.
