Use add to basket not buy it now

Hi, this is hopefully a useful tip especially for those that use phones for buying and not a pc.

Always add to basket first or you risk losing out on many offers. I sell on ebay as a trader and use special offers in the normal way of either a discount on multi buys or BOGOF. The number of single payments I get defies belief to me as the customer loses the discount and both paypal and ebay make even more money that they won't pay tax on.

When you add to basket and go to basket afterwards, the offer is highlighted giving you the option to save money or get extra for nothing. Hit the buy it now and you get zip.

Personally I put the offers on because a multi purchase cost me less so I pass on the saving whether it is the cost of postage or less fees paid by me.

Ebay encourages traders to use free postage and I do because so many people seem to believe it judging by feedback I have had such as "Great bargain and free postage too". Wrong! postage is factored into the price good price or not and that is the same for 99% of sellers anywhere. The larger the seller the cheaper the carraige they are charged which is how a lot sell far cheaper than it costs for you and me to post.

Anyway my message is use the add to basket button first and go to basket after never hit buy it now or you risk losing out and end up paying far more than you have to in a lot of cases
