I completely agree! Recently, I bid on two shirts from one seller. They both ended within minutes of each other and I won them both. I was hoping that they would automatically adjust my shipping to combine them both, but instead I just got 2 separate EOA emails that must have been automatically generated or something. So I emailed asking if they would mind combining shipping. No answer after 2 days. I then assumed that maybe they had them packaged already,so I sent in my MO with a printout of each EOA email, and sure enough, they show up both crammed in one flimsy envelope that ended up costing less than 1 of the shipping prices that I paid. Surprise, surprise!

I wholeheartedly agree! If I'm paying you TWO shipping and TWO handling charges for TWO auctions, it damn well better show up in TWO boxes or I smell a negative a-comin'!!

I think it is sad how seller will not help out a winning bidder and combine shipping...since the items can go together in the same box. I combine all the time, any thing to help out a winning bidder. And if by chance I over charge on shipping by more than a $1.00...then I will send the money back to them. I appreciate all my bidders and try to make them feel special when they get the package from me.

I agree totally. If I am paying 2 shipping charges, I want two packages, not one envelope!

I have a set s&h for my smaller items.

If you buy 1 item or 100 items, regardless of how many different item numbers it took to accumulate them, your shipping is a flat price. Under $4.00 too!

I sometimes get complaints from people that say "hey, you charged me $1. more then what the postage cost to send this", but I NEVER hear, "hey, postage was $11.00?, here's another 7 bucks"

The only catch, is that it must be ONE order, made in ONE payment.

Don't email in two weeks saying, "I bought so and so two weeks ago, is the shipping still free on future purchases?"

Some peeps will just NEVER get it!

Some sellers are so shortsighted they only see the transaction in front of them.

It is my experience that if you treat the bidder/buyer right they will be back again and again. If you do dirt by them, you will usually never see them again.

Combining purchases is actually less work packing, saves the buyer a few bucks to bid on something else, and makes everyone happy, except those who see shipping and mis-"handling" as a cash cow.

I just finished a large order for one bidder. I am not sure what the charge will be at the post office, but it should still fine.

Typically I flat rate for the first item and add for additional ones. Sellers that do not combine should be avoided; but ask first. Complaining afterwards is not the way to do it.
