When trying to find some extra items to reach the treshold, it happens I go into a next shipping band, making it more expensive for the second time. My suggestion is really simple: add a "give-extra-money" (or "donation" box to reach the min. buy treshold. Let's say I have 3.75 USD in my cart and the min. buy is 5.00 USD. I just fill in 1.25 USD in the "donation" box (a sort of a "special service product" to reach min. buy treshold while still keeping the same weight and dimensions of my order. You could even think about linking the extra money to a charity. If the seller would configure his shop saying he allows going under min. buy treshold when the buyer pays the gap to charity (preferably managed by BrickLink, so the surplus is automatically donated to charity). Can’t you just contact the store? Also, if a seller wants to do that, they could remove their min buy and put a fee for small orders instead. They could even make custom, weihtless items for that: “PDF instructions for charity X” and give instructions for a very simple model.  It could even be a real model related to the charity.
