How do I pay for items together if I have won more than one from different sellers.

Previously it would automatically group everything. Now you have to pay one by one entering paypal password every time.

Is this some kind of ploy to get people to allow paypal to remember password (something I won't sign up to)

    Bought 6 items yesterday and it was a single transaction, although it does show on my bank statement individually.

    I haven't noticed any change - bought items yesterday from different sellers and automatically had the chance to pay for them all at once. Have you tried clicking through 'my account' rather than on an individual item in case that makes a difference?

    Are you using the 'add to basket' option, obvious but worth asking.

    very strange I wonder why just my account :(

    I bought 3 items two days in a row and had to pay all individually.

    Yes I am going via my account. I don't think I can add to basket as they are items won by auction. Previously when I clicked pay on one, they all would come up totally together with an option to pay only this seller if I didn't want to pay all at once. Now only the one clicked on comes up to pay.

    I will ask ebay why and update if they come back with an answer

    I think it sounds like an add to basket'issue. I haven't had to add several auction wins to know if you get the basket option, but when I BIN I certainly have to add to basket to pay in one go.

    I had a problem recently where a buyer purchased items from several sellers and her payment to me was reversed

    She got really cross thinking I had done something but when she phoned PayPal she was told there was an eBay problem and she had to make purchases individually.

    Contacted ebay. I feel very silly now :o All items are in my basket automatically so I can pay total from there :o

    I never realised that happened. I could definitely pay together previously by just clicking on one of the 'pay now'
