It's just a recommendation that you hold back from posting straight away if there's a possibility that the buyer may be bidding on more of your items.
You can safely ignore it and post the item out now if they're not.
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.
EBay on their infinite wisdom think that once a buyer has paid they can then have a further 4 hours to add items to order. Seems futile to me as you buy anything you want all in one go.
If this is the scenario you can overide and produce labels as normal.

Mentor1 week ago · EditedAre they bidding on a other item, or have made an offer? Buyer could be watching something else!
Unless there is a good reason to delay you should post in your usual time frame.

OP1 week agoThanks but No they are not bidding on anything else, I do have an item finishing in a few hours but it’s a teapot and they bought a top! Very odd
