I can't imagine it.    Who would create a centralized system to fit it all, and who would be responsible for miscalculations? See also: http://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=736410    If you let the sellers to set the settings on their own, then there is actually someone to take the responsibility for that. You don't think people will try to avoid responsibility for problems either way? Right now, sellers blame buyers for not reading store terms. Do you think that situation will improve with instant checkout?    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. How hard it is depends on a lot of things. But it's independently hard for everybody if there is no central solution. Every seller certainly will have to repeat the task and that adds errors. For my store and my inventory and my shipping rules, it just isn't feasible. Meanwhile, somebody could make and sell a third-party solution. An add-on program that does exactly what you are talking about. You could dial it in and sell it- BrickShip.
