Saving through combined shipping

Most sellers on eBay are happy to ship everything to you in the same package if you’re buying multiple items from them. You might also get a shipping discount because the seller saves money by combining items.

If you’ve already paid for a number of items you ordered from the same seller, and the packages haven’t been marked as shipped, the seller may still be able to combine shipping if you ask them.

How to combine shipping

Many sellers automatically combine shipping if you’re buying multiple items from them. All you need to do is add the items you want to buy to your cart, and you’ll see the combined shipping total at checkout.

What's not eligible for combined shipping?

Not all items are eligible for combined shipping. Some examples include:

  • Items in the PSA Vault
  • Items in PUDO (pick up/ drop off) categories
  • Items that require Authenticity Guarantee checks
  • Items that sell for more than $250
  • Items that are purchased with Best Offer
  • Items in eBay Managed Shipping and some categories in eBay International Shipping

Even if an item is eligible for combined shipping, it is ultimately the seller's decision whether they will combine eligible items or offer any combined shipping discounts.

Tip
If the shipping section of the listing doesn’t specify shipping costs for additional items, you’ll need to ask the seller before you pay. If the seller agrees to ship the items in one package, they’ll send you a combined invoice detailing all the items and the new cost of shipping.

When you combine shipping, the seller will send you a combined invoice detailing all the items in your package.
