Outlet stores on Ebay

I'm wanting to buy two items from an outlet store (Currys/PC world outlet), same thing but different colours, so there's no arguing. I have a voucher from Ebay, but it can only be used once. The outlet stores wants immediate payment, but that means I wont be able to get the discount for both items. Does anyone know if it's possible to have a basket type thing for me to add both items to, and pay for both together, or am I going to have to get two the same colour and buy different covers for them?
Also would it be better to get them still sealed or is it OK to buy stuff where the manufacturers seal is broken? Many thanks.

    have you messaged the seller to explain? they might let you buy two and ask for a different colour on the notes.

    eBay do have a "shopping basket" which they are trialling but I've never used it, so you might find that this does the job.

    Won't the voucher apply it to the first item, though, meaning that you pay less in total anyway? You might find a big concern a bit lacking in customer service, unless they have a telephone number you could ring on their listings.

    I decided to sleep on it Wednesday, Thursday mid-morning they dropped the price by £23!:D:D I'd have been so mad :mad: if I'd bought yesterday. Anyway I bought 2 separately, saved £23 + 10% (£12.85) on first, and the price reduction only on the second, so by not buying in haste saved £46 on yesterdays price. I'm happy with that, lets hope the folks who are getting them are equally chuffed.
