I want to sell a chip cheap enough to get a bid, including shipping costs. Now someone buys three chips and I lose money, because shipping is part of the balance to make a profit.

OK I list higher, and offer combined shipping, no one buys, I sell nothing, because the individual starting price, for one chip, is too high.

I don't know the Buyer/Seller perfect answer, but losing money by combining shipping from the sellers side, doesn't make any sense? Listing higher, means no sale. Now what? The small fee for combined seems a good answer as well.

I do have my answer, which may be just as problematic as the first three. Now I list almost everything as "Shipping Included", done deal. Sure I figure the cost, plus the package and shipping to break even, plus $5 profit (this is not chips, but the same would apply if I was making $1 on a chip = minimum) the more anyone buys, I actually make more with combined shipping. Hopefully everyone is happy?

One of my eBay accounts, business... the most active but it only has a small number of positives because buyers don't leave feedback all the time https://www.ebay.com/sch/gizex_gadgets/m.html?_trksid=p3692

My other ebay that I use for chips and personal, has a higher feedback rating. I suppose because I'm a buyer. Haven't sold anything in three months.
