Problem of new eBay Simple Delivery

I guess some buyers may not know how to use eBay basket so they order the items separately, i.e. one order one item.   Then, eBay Simple Delivery will deduct the shipping fee from the sales money to buy a shipping lable, more than ONE shipping labels will be generated.   The problem is all items will be packed together and be sent by one parcel!!   Don't know eBay has thought about that !!!???

Problem of new eBay Simple Delivery

Yep,  it's still a technical issue, why so long to fix this?  Nobody knows!

 

If postage was purchased though Simple Delivery and you now post all the items together the buyer will receive a refund for the unused labels they paid for, might be worth sending them a message explaining this,  and that it may take up to / over 30 days for the refund to appear.
 
If you,  the seller paid for the label you need to manually cancel the label within 14 days for  refund.
 
The best way forward would be to cancel all items, of course,  with the buyer's acceptance, and relisting them as one, so there's one  important tracking number, one postage price. Ensure any message to your buyer makes it very clear the reason why the items are being cancelled,  that they are to be relisted on eBay again,  for the buyer to buy, leave no room for doubt that this is Not an off eBay sale.
 
Some sellers are leaving a message on their listing,  for example.....   ' If you wish to buy multiple items,  please let me know before buying,  I will relist them as one listing so only one postage cost is charged, combining postage is not currently possible. '
