Combining postage on a BIN

moonpenny

What is the correct way to do a combined postage on 2 BIN items?
I messaged the buyer to say what p&p I would charge and to not pay straight away until I sent a new invoice.
My settings are set to pay immediately for BINs so am I doing this wrong?
The 2 items have not sold yet so I thought I would get some advice.

Can the buyer add them to the basket and pay for them together? You can maybe reduce your postage to the total of what you've agreed with the buyer beforehand, that way you won't have to refund the difference.

Yes that is what I do but was just wandering if "pay immediately" would confuse matters.
Would it be better to untick the "pay immediately" before the buyer puts them in their basket?

Let them try to see if it works first, tbh I don't see why it shouldn't though. You don't want for them to buy it, then leave it a week before they pay you.

If IP (immediate payment) is set, you can't combine postage for two separate BINS. So yes, it would be better to untick IP and ask the buyer to request an invoice when they add the items to their basket.
