  I don't have a shop, but it's easy.

  
  You seem to believe that despite the thousands of experienced sellers dealing
with BrickLink for years (totalling in a gazillion hours of selling experience),
you are the first one with good ideas - and all others are obviously stupid.

Did you ever consider this might come across a little bit... snotty?

  When I would have a shop I would do it as easy as possible.
Standard packaging sizes, if you buy 5 or 50 of an item.

Most sellers believe that good customer service is to offer appropiate packaging,
not waste of postage due to overly standardized packing/shipping categories.
For VERY large businesses, I see good reasons to change this concept a little
- but it will turn customers away - for sure.

  If the customer is willing to pay and orders, it's fine. If not, so be it...

It works like that, sure. On the other hand, if you offer good service and want
to take advantage in the strong selling competition, you will likely change your
attitude.
And you might find out one day that buyers accept your terms, order and pay -
and are still unhappy when they are confronted with waste of their money upon
order receipt.

  I can hardly understand why you rely on hundreds of different packaging sizes.

Where on earth did you take that from? NOBODY made a step in this direction,
the topic started with shipping rates - which differ from country to country,
based on weight, dimensions and other attributes like shape and stiffness. All
these details are not supported properly by the catalog data and it's doubtful
they ever will.

Seeing an exaggeration like this from you as an oh-so-wise-and-experienced buyer
looks very... funny at least.

  For me it is EOD...

For everybody's relief, I guess.
