Saving through combined postage

Most sellers on eBay are happy to post everything to you in the same package if you're buying multiple items from them. You might also get a discount on postage costs because the seller saves money by combining items together.

If you've already paid for a number of items you ordered from the same seller, and the packages haven't been marked as sent, the seller may still be able to combine postage if you ask them.

How to combine postage

Many sellers automatically combine postage if you're buying multiple items from them. All you need to do is add the items you want to buy to your cart and you'll see the combined postage total at checkout.

What's not eligible for combined postage?

Not all items are eligible for combined postage. Some examples include:

  • Click & Collect items
  • Items that sell for more than $250
  • Items purchased with Best Offer
  • Items purchased through Authenticity Guarantee

Items sent through eBay International Shipping or the Global Shipping Program have different combined postage rules. Learn more about international purchases and postage.

Even if an item is eligible for combined postage, it is ultimately the seller's decision whether they will combine eligible items or offer any combined postage discounts.

Tip
If the postage section of the listing doesn't specify postage costs for additional items, you'll need to ask the seller before you pay. If the seller agrees to send the items in one package, they'll send you a combined invoice detailing all the items and the new cost of postage.

When you combine postage, the seller will send you a combined invoice detailing all the items in your package.
