... I offer combined discounted shipping & insurance, but I will need to send an invoice.  Ebay is driving up shipping costs for all of us. They now extract a % of each seller's shipping charge plus the additional paypal charges as well. I offer combined shipping for multiple purchases, but I will need to send an invoice because ebay automatically generates one at the closing of the auction..... .
