Ebay sneaky with applying discount codes

[Gsinill]

So I got this 10% off up to $50 discount (apparently invitation only).
Rules said you can combine multiple purchases into one shopping cart/order. I.e. you can only use the discount once.
Finally got my 3 items, $60, $65 and $414.
During checkout I apply the code and it states that I will save $50, all good.
Ebay connects to PP, when I am back on the eBay checkout page, I am getting a never before seen message that some vendors are now using eBay for their payment process, which means that orders might be split, blah, blah...
Who cares, seemed to be similar to Amazon delivering goods on different days.
What I did not realize, was that while in PP, they only charged for the cheapest item and submitted that one as the first order.
I.e. no discount for the remaining $480.
I basically lost $44.
I am sure I would have figured this out if I had paid attention, the fact that they don't already split this up in the shopping cart itself sucks.

Interesting. Id hit up ebay and maybe they'll honor the discount for the other items.
