So now a new eBay system irritating function. I try to end listings so they can be paid for and got ready for next day postage. Now there's this daft 3 hour wait that from what I gather could increase to a week! Just to allow combined shipping. That's some weights sharing a package with some plates! I also pre pack securely to avoid damage and will not double pack. Further, I've no other items ending within 3 hours. Nanning eBay is going to loose their customers to rival options.

Mentor4 months agoI've not heard anything about the window being extended to a week.
Automatic Postage Combination: If an initial purchase is made and the buyer completes the payment, the 3-hour wait feature pauses checkout for subsequent purchases. Any additional items bought from your store within this timeframe will automatically group together in the shopping basket for combined postage.
No Waiting to Ship for Sellers: You are not required to hold off on dispatching an order while waiting for this 3-hour window to pass. If a transaction has been paid for and finalised, you can proceed to print shipping labels.

The option to post/print label wasn't visible but available in the drop down menu. I've learnt something, thanks.
