Spotlight: eBay Bundle discounts

When you’re browsing an eBay listing or a seller’s shop or profile, you’ll see prompts from the seller where bundle discounts are on offer. These will typically tell you the discounts that apply if you buy 2, 3 or more items together or the bundle discounts available if you buy different items together.

In the details of each bundle discount, you’ll see the percentage off based on the number of items you buy, so you’ll know exactly the deal you’re getting before you go to checkout. You can either add extra items while browsing or at checkout. The savings are applied automatically and are clearly visible before you pay.

Bundle discounts apply to item prices only. Postage and handling are calculated separately and are based on the seller’s postage policy. Bundle discounts can be combined with eBay sitewide promotions and sale events. They can’t be combined with seller vouchers, seller order discounts, volume pricing, or other seller promotional codes you may be running.

If an item is eligible for multiple seller discounts (e. g. a bundle discount and a voucher) the discount that is the best deal for the buyer will be applied. Example: if a seller is offering a bundle discount of 15% for 2 items and a voucher for 20% off, the voucher discount will apply, not the bundle discount.

eBay Bundle discounts for sellers The decision on which items are included or excluded from bundle discounts is entirely up to you. When you set up the bundle discount feature, buyers see the discounts you offer while browsing a listing and in your shop or profile. The bundle discount prompts will show the percentage discounts you offer.

The cash amount the buyer pays will be clear at checkout. You don’t need to do anything to calculate the discount or confirm it’s applied.

How do returns work with eBay Bundle discounts? If a buyer returns part of an order that qualified for a bundle discount, eBay recalculate the price based on the items they keep.
