Combining postage for 2 SD items bought 15 hours apart
Does Ebay combine postage for 2 SD items bought a couple of hours apart? How does it work? Do I have to do anything? What if the buyer buys them more than a day apart (and I haven't yet posted the first item). Buyer seems to think that I just have to refund her for one item's postage!

Hi. I've checked through a few threads to see if my question has been answered but couldn't find it. My father took my ear buds back to Australia from UK to get them fixed under warrantee (long story of why they wouldn't do warranty in UK). He has now sent them back to me but customs thinks they have been purchased or a…

I have a quite expensive item on eBay for collection only. There are lots of photos and I think an honest description. I would ideally have liked to invite potential buyers along to appraise it in person, but I know that this is not possible.
