We consider a "bundle" any listing with multiple products under one ASIN.
Generally, selling bundles should be limited, so as to keep listings clear for customers
and to avoid repeat orders. However, we are aware that certain bundles offer advantageous
pricing and selection for customers, so we strive to continue allowing these kinds of
offers on our platform. Preferably, bundles should be created using the "Manage Promotions"
tool in Seller Central.
Note: In 2014, the German Finance
Ministry decided on a tax policy for package deals where a customer can buy a print version
of a newspaper or magazine in combination with access to an electronic version of these
publications. Starting January 1,
2016, printed publications must be taxed differently than electronic publications,
at 7% and 19% respectively, even if both are offered for one flat fee. If you think your
products are subject to this regulation, please consult a tax advisor.
We accept Bundles in the following cases:
-
Increased quantity of identical items: You

of these bundles here.

(Retail) with the same ASIN and in the same quantity.
-
Bundles that are offered by a manufacturer
with a unique EAN number and are defined as such.

Category-specific bundles that aren’t just
more of the same item, but are a combination of items that are paired together:
-

-
Home Improvement: power/electric drill and matching bit
box.

indicate the bundle is a gift.

Wine packages (these may
contain different wine varieties and accessories; for example, glasses,

-
Sample sets that allow a
customer to test the most possible varieties with the clear intent to buy
a full-price item later. Therefore, only sample sizes of one to two
portions/units per variety may be included (for example, a one-cup
portion of each coffee blend, one bottle of each beer, one candy bar per
flavor, etc.).
