Eileen is just about the buyer's perspective that fits perfectly into the system, but, she is a "power buyer" (?), so she could differ a bit from the rest of the casual buyers. I generally buy loose pieces in bulk, so my orders often would be easy to automate.    Many times, you will have to sacrifice one thing in favor for another one, you can't have both. Buyers: are you willing to pay a bit extra on some orders, and to pay a bit less on some other ones, to have calculated shipping costs noted up front and to be able to pay instantly by a paypal prompt, instead of going into a paypal account, etc? Not interested in saving the time it takes to open PayPal. In fact, there's an added benefit to opening it myself vs having an automated link, and that is security. I know the page is safe because I opened it.    Sellers: are you willing to loose a bit on shipping on some orders, No.    and have a bit extra on shipping for some other ones, Also no.    in exchange of fast checkout, Don't care.    no need to be marking orders as paid 3 days after the order was placed Don't care.    and to partially avoid NPB's? This may reduce that number, but it will do so by making buyers pay more. So many will simply choose not to order in the first place. Which does save time and NPBs but misses the opportunity to actually make a sale.
