Your Details

Overview

Use this eBay Combined Shipping Calculator to estimate a combined shipping charge for multiple items in one order. Enter the number of items, the first-item shipping cost, the extra shipping cost for additional items, any packaging allowance, and an optional discount to get a quick estimate.

How it works

The calculator starts with the base shipping cost for the first item, then adds the extra shipping amount for each additional item. It also adds a one-time packaging allowance. If you enter a discount, that percentage is deducted from the shipping subtotal to estimate the final combined shipping total. It also shows the average shipping cost per item and the estimated savings compared with charging the base shipping amount for every item separately.
