we don't have instant check out.

Thanks for your insight, Brett.

However, it makes me think wether people are understanding what I would like.
I'm talking about a system that would be a feature, and tool, something extra.

In example, bulk quantities exist. I don't use them, nor like them, but some
sellers do, because it makes their life easier. And yes, it seems that they don't
care too much about wether a buyer wants 2 tiles or 10 to meet the bulk amount.

This is what that would be, an extra. Some seller would appreciate it and implement
it. Just to make it clear, I wouldn't.

The "bulky" system thing is maybe too far out, if this is just going to be a
tool implemented by some. However, I'd just give it out as a tool, and let
people decide wether they want it or not. Some big sellers I'm should
would like the feature and use it.

It's just an extra, an option, a feature, a choice, something seller's
would choose to use if they like, and not use it if it's too much hassle.
If you wouldn't use it, why would you vote "no" then, if you wouldn't
be required to use it?

  Make them see that you are going out of your way to give them a valued experience
rather than "this is what you ordered, this is your cost, because you checked
out instantly"

BTW, great idea. I do like the idea of a welcome email and a basic explanation,
as no one reads the help page in the beginning, so just the basic points would
be good, and easy to implement.
  
I do like the idea in general, I just think it's hard to set up and maintain
world wide and putting it in the hands of individual sellers doesn't change
the differences, as you noted, but makes the issue faster.

As an FYI there are 20620 items in the catalog missing weights and 24513 missing
dimensions.

Everyone of this items would break the automated shipping feature.

Indeed, but also most of them are not the usual items you get in an order. Yes,
that would break automatic shipping, thanks for the point. Also, I'm not
talking about dimensions anymore, as that was a little unrealistic. Or a solution
for the future if they want instant checkout for every single order, which I
would hate to see.

Also "used complete" sets show up in the cart with the same weight as "new" sets.
Except used complete sets don't require the box or instructions. So clearly
not even close. You would have to change the way things are listed to include
check-boxes for these variables.

Or include your own weight on the listings.

Not what my first suggestion was about, but I think that the final purpose of
my suggestion is just to implement a basic system, as I said, depending on weight.
It's easy to implement, and some people would use it. No need offer a perfect
system. If you can't use it, you wont, but some people could.

Anyways, I was just giving out ideas and looking at what people thought. It was
more of an "idea thread" than a "I need this so implement it" thread.
