COMBINED SHIPPING FOR MULTIPLE ITEMS

We will always try to combine the shipping for multiple items provided the orders are placed on the same day. It may not be possible to combine the shipping in every case, particularly where one or more of the items is large, heavy, and/or an awkward shape.

If you are buying multiple items, please allow us to amend the shipping BEFORE you pay. You can do this by selecting the Request Total button during Checkout (this works only when using the E-Bay Website, it does not appear on the mobile app for phones and tablets). If you pay multiple amounts of shipping, and/or make multiple payments, then the combined shipping refund you will receive will be a bit lower. This is because additional seller fees are taken from the amount initially paid, and those have to be recovered from the combined shipping refund you get.
