eBay: summarize articles - is that possible?
If you, as an eBay seller, sell several items to the same person, you can combine all orders. In this way you save yourself and the buyer effort and costs and can also use the opportunity to offset discounts, for example.
Combine items on eBay: How to summarize offers
EBay supports the combination of articles and associated discounts directly and in a few steps:
- Open your "My eBay" page and here the "Sold" view.
- Select one of the items you want to combine and click on "Send payment information".
- All items that you can combine are now displayed here. Mark the right ones.
- Now enter all necessary and possibly changed details such as packaging and shipping costs or discounts.
- Click on "Send payment information" and the customer will receive a combined invoice.
Combine items with the eBay sales manager
A useful tool to manage your eBay sales is the free sales manager. This also supports you in summarizing articles.
- Before you can summarize items, all auctions must of course have expired and the items have been bought or bought from the same account.
- Open the sales view in the manager. If you click here now on the offer number of a sold item, the manager automatically determines whether the object can be combined with others.
- If it is possible to summarize, you will see a link in the transaction details with which you can combine the purchases.
- If you click on this link, you will receive a complete list of all articles that can be summarized. Select articles as you like and mark their checkboxes.
- Now you can recalculate the shipping costs in the shipping information. This combines shipping, insurance and, if applicable, taxes on all items.
- With a click on the button at the end of the page you summarize the articles and are brought back to the sales page.
- In the transaction details you can now see all selected items together.
- Please note that you can combine a maximum of 40 items on one invoice.
- If individual items have not yet been purchased or have already been paid for, you can not or can no longer add them to the invoice.
