I did say that I like people multi-quoting my posts refuting my ideas. I will
back that statement.

I like people multi-quoting my posts providing constructive criticism, unlike
this one.

  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.

This is just one point of instant checkout, there are other benefits, and cons.

  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.

Well, don't implement it.
  
   and have a bit extra on shipping for some other ones,

Also no.

  in exchange of fast checkout,

Don't care.

Good for you.
  
  no need to be marking orders as paid 3 days after the order was placed

Don't care.

Wonderful then!
  
   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.

Don't be close minded. You are not the only one selling here. And there would
be an option to not do instant checkouts, so why do you care then?

You are not the kind of seller that would look forward to a system like this
being implemented. How many orders do you receive daily? No need to post it here,
but that is my point.

I'm confortable right now as I am, but look at this: http://www.bricklink.com/feedback.asp?u=PBD&viewType=shop
If I were getting about 15, or even 8 daily orders, I'd be happy to not having
to calculate postage on each order and have instant payment/marking the order
as paid.
