First off i made 2 separate Paypal payments so why should i asked the seller for 2 separate lots of packaging?
If i buy 1, 2, 5 or 10 different (and not even the same piece of software) from a buyer in 1, 2, 5 or 10 different auction and pay 1, 2, 5 or 10 P&P's then i expect 1, 2, 5 or 10 deliveries!
The question to sellers is what would of happened if i'd wanted 2 envelopes so i could have gently opened them to see which piece of software was what then resealed with selotape, put a new address sticker on, got the old stamp off and put a new one on to send to 2 different people? The answer is it would have cost me for another envelope when i'd already paid the seller to send like that.
I can understand sellers trying to help but there are some occasions when buyers have a reason for doing things. Sellers say buyers should ask questions beforehand well if i pay 2 P&P's thats what i expect and if a seller wants to send in 1 envelope even though i've paid 2 P&P's then he should ask me first before he does that. Also dont forget by paying 2 P&P's i've paid for that 2nd envelope!

If you've made 2 separate Paypal payments then you've almost certainly cost the seller more than if you'd bought both items together. The extra 20p per transaction charge is more than the price of an envelope.
If you had planned on reusing the envelopes then I could perhaps understand very mild irritation at getting 1 envelope instead of 2, but if you put them in the bin then you should be pleased that the seller is being relatively environmentally friendly by avoid unnecessary use of extra resources.
The seller probably has a life outside eBay, and does not want to spend extra time making enquiries as to whether the buyer might have any unusual requests. If you are applying the same principles to private sellers as to businesses, then perhaps the "time is money" principle also applies. 5 minutes of someone's time at minimum wage would be worth about 45p.
