No the Offer is just for the Item.

When you make a best offer all the terms and conditions including the displayed post and packing remain the same.

A seller cannot change anything and certainly cannot change the post and packing charges.

It does tell you when you make an offer. If item is £10 with P & P of £2, but you only want to spend £10 then you would make an offer of £8.

It is not correct however to say that postage cannot be changed. Seller can edit postage and send an amended invoice, which would be needed in any case if combining postage.

As I did just that yesterday I know it works.

A bit of a confusing reply from a responder which I will clarify.

A item is listed at £10 with P.P of £2

Your offer is £8

The P.P is still £2. So your total purchase price is £10

A seller can reduce postage if you pay for two items having used best offer..But they cannot increase the postage charge above what the listing stated when you made your offer.
