Re: Buyers not using the basket!! getting rinsed with paypal fees
I already offer free shipping, and the bonus of buyers buying more than one item is i make abit extra profit as i can ship all the items together for the same price, but then that gets took away when buyers pay seperatly and paypal charge me double,
It's a simple task just adding items all to basket and paying at once especially when all the items are being bought from the same listing but just different colours but for some reason half the buyers aren't doing it, how long have ebay had the option to add to basket is it new? I'm sure i only noticed it in the eBay app a few months ago. Hopefully that is the case and buyers will get use to using it over time.
Bet if this worked out in the sellers favour where buyers pay seperatly you end up paying less fees then paypal would already have the bots out to combine all orders in to one so you pay the right fees, but don't bat an eyelid when it's affecting our profits.
Think I'll just take rsot's advice and put a notice in my listing asking buyers to add to basket and pay at once, will just put that this will make sure all your order will be sent together and hopefully they will listen as it's a pain in the arse also when I print off the invoices aswell and I pack something then grab the next invoice to see it's from the same buyer.
