If it totally customisable for the seller re the packagung restrictions, insurance etc then it could work. I dont like store with " extra fees", like PP BL fuel, etc getting charged as add ons...Price the stock to include these.( it still gets paid, and levels the pricing field a little more ) I like automated shipping, but not extra fees. I even prefer paying a bit extra for shipping (than the actual cost), if that is a necessary result of automating the shipping without the seller getting hit for more shipping than they collect. What really irritates me, about the views that shipping should not be automated (or is not reasonably automate-able); is that there is an expectation that buyers be able to do this estimate themselves, before committing to an order. This is one of the things I find that is very seller biased about this site. But I really need to develop better terms page reading habits. I got hit for required insurance on what I considered a low value order, but it was clearly in the terms, so I just paid it. In this case it was less about the cost, than the hassle of having to be home to sign for the package.
