When buyers or sellers want to save logistics costs, they will propose the need to merge orders with the same account number and the same delivery address. It can be merged at this time, so how do eBay sellers merge orders? Here’s how to do it.
How do eBay sellers combine order shipping costs?
If a buyer purchases multiple items from a seller, but the buyer does not receive a shipping discount, the buyer can combine orders from the seller in the shopping cart. The seller can then use the new combined cost to bill the buyer. First, the seller must ensure that the combined shipping fee function has been enabled in the account settings. Then, the seller chooses the limited time period for combined shipping costs that he is willing to accept. Finally, click the Save button to save. On the interface, the seller can see the time selection and the number of days for the combined payment period required by the buyer. The maximum time limit of the platform is 30 days. It should be noted that once a specific time is selected, it will affect the seller’s time settings for the UPI assistant. Sellers also have a variety of options. Sellers can choose any combination method that suits them, and click “Next” to complete the order freight consolidation and logistics promotion settings.

If the buyer pays for shipping, the seller can still offer a comprehensive shipping discount by returning the difference to the buyer. You can do the following: Go to the “Orders” tab in the “Sales” area and you can open the “My” section in a new window or new tab. In the menu, select a purchase drop-down and sellers will be advised to “Allow payment of seller’s additional shipping costs” and will then be able to create shipping labels from those orders and download tracking numbers for all items in the combined order. If the merchant is an escrow seller, it can offer a full settlement shipping discount before the buyer pays, so the seller can send the bill to the buyer with the goods.
The above is how eBay sellers set shipping costs for combined orders. In actual operation, sellers can follow the above steps to set up and adjust the rules according to specific circumstances. By setting rules for merging orders, you can effectively reduce logistics costs, improve efficiency, and improve buyers’ purchasing experience, which is good for the store’s evaluation and reputation.
