Possible I didn't read clearly enough.

In my solution, bricklink would only give away the system, the options to do
your thing. They should make the "options" to consider weight, bulky parts, dimensions,
fees, etc. Then, the seller is the one who fills out the forms and the
prices.

Well this is far worse than having a central solution.
At least in my country, with our current postal regulations.

and how exactly would you imagine that "central solution"?

Many countries have different regulations, and then even some bigger sellers
within same countries have contracts with different shipping companies.

Who would create a centralized system to fit it all, and who would be responsible
for miscalculations?

US is probably an exception, since you guys make up quite a large population
of BL So maybe I see a system created just for you, but I already see a never
ending stream of complaints of unhappy users too. "I have been charged $2.5 while
stamps on the envelope say $1.87!! What a ripoff!!!"

If you let the sellers to set the settings on their own, then there is actually
someone to take the responsibility for that.

I dont think it would be a problem to do such a thing on your own. Pre-sets could
be provided and then, with such a supportive community we have here, it should
not be hard to come up with settings that work for you.
