I happily discount for combined shipping. My policy for combined single book auctions is an additional $1 shipping per each single book auction (75 cents for Sonlight homeschool titles). EBay's shipping discount calculator doesn't take into account some factors, so if the shipping total provided by eBay for single book auctions is more than my policy, alert me to this and I will send you a revised invoice with correct shipping.
If you are purchasing book lots, then shipping is determined by weight, and the $1 per auction doesn't apply. They are still discounted in shipping, however, and should be reflected in the combined shipping totals provided by eBay. If the combined shipping total looks off, then email me and I can verify correct shipping. It will NOT be any more than ebay shows, but I will adjust costs down if necessary.
So sorry for the confusion while I try to navigate eBay's combined shipping choices. Email with any questions!
