Combined postage with Simple Delivery ?

[reno08]

In the Simple Delivery FAQ I see no mention of combining postage when selling several items to the same buyer.

Is that now gone ?!

If so it will have a HUGE impact on many sellers of low value items.

As a buyer I also always check sellers other items after I win an auction, to take advantage of combined postage. If it’s gone I won’t have any incentive to do that

We don't know what's going to happen about combining.   They surely can't get rid of it altogether.   You can always ask sellers to relist items into one listing with a single postage.   Most aren't going to realise yet that they can't combine at the moment.

I just spoke to an agent who stated that "No, the Simple Delivery option with combined postage will not work," which I guess is because it is too simple for seller's needs.

I couldn't get to the bottom of how international postage will work if a seller is not enrolled in Global Shipping, but I did get confirmation that items under 100g AND £10 can opt out of Simple Delivery.

Is that official eBay policy or just a CS rep speaking off the top of their head. The categories where SD will no apply have, as I thought, NOT been announced; so what gives.

Not being able to combine items is such a retrograde step - almost unbelievable

In the weekly chat with ebay staff today one of them (Kat) confirmed that combined postage with Simple Delivery is currently being worked on.   So it will be OK soon - hopefully.
