Hi,

I've been thinking on how best to design this feature where shipping would be
automatically calculated upon checkout and so far came up with the following
option for sellers.  Sellers could input a combination of the below 4:

A) Base shipping fee
B) % of grand total
C) 5 slots to input if grand total is greater than $X.XX, shipping is $Y.YY
D) If grand total is > $X.XX, shipping is free

Anyway, I'd like to hear some input on this before it is implemented.  Any
thoughts?  Thanks,

Dan this would make a great feature and one I as a seller would try and make
the most out of.  Unfortunately there are other variables involved as well in
terms of Large parts of low value adding weight or maybe small parts with a
high value maybe don't require as expensive shipping.  I think the current
manual option should always be an option and the seller should be able to
override what is automatically generated in extraordinary cases.

You should probably put a disclaimer in for the buyer stating that the shipping
is just a preliminary estimate and can be adjusted by the seller if required so
please wait until you are contacted by the seller before paying.

Just some ideas,
