Buyers unable to buy multiple items and request an invoice at the moment,

[deresorrel-0]

Buyers are unable to buy multiple items and request an invoice at the moment, Ebay admit that it's a glitch in the system at the moment and no fix available at this time.  Has been going on for weeks, come on Ebay, get yourself sorted, sellers are losing sales because of it !!!!

Thanks for your response, hard to believe that they cannot fix it

@tobiasd4 

how does that work then?


as you cannot see what is in a buyers basket until they either use the request total or use the buy it now on each item, or pay for it all

[deresorrel-0]

Exactly, sellers are losing sales I'm sure

[tobiasd4]

If BIN, you can add to basket, if auction, buyer messages seller before paying.

On one of my many "chats" with Ebay they assure me that my site is set up correctly, it's a fault in the system

[deresorrel-0]

They are BIN and after adding to basket and asking for invoice they see a message to say this feature is not available at the moment

[pixiesen2012]

when you add a BIN to your basket the seller cannot see it, so they cannot send an invoice,


the 'buyer' has to use the buy it now, but not proceed to checkout, that is the only way around the problem with ebay telling buyers you don't combine postage when buyers use the request total

[pixiesen2012]

it's a fault that has been going on for years,


we lose many sales because ebay tell buyers we don't combine postage or we don't send to their country, when we have worldwide postage enabled!

[tobiasd4]

As I said, request combined invoice does not work, buyers need to send an ebay message.
Would be better if ebay fixed this, but they haven't.

EBay certainly are not too helpful at the moment are they

No ebay staff here, we are fellow members.

I haven't known this to work for ages.

Buyers can add items to basket, then message you to issue combined invoice, no good using the "request combined invoice link".
