I was forced recently by eBay to remove my postage calculator because of javascript. The only other viable alternative I found is a calculator that links directly to the USPS page, where my customers can view Priority Mail and Parcel Post costs, among others.
I don't offer Parcel Post shipping because it is not calculated at Vendio Checkout like Priority Mail. The inevitable has occurred, as I anticipated...I have a customer who is, I have realized, viewing the Parcel Post costs instead of the Priority mail costs, even though my listing clearly states Priority mail only.
So my question is...why does Vendio not offer a "calculated at checkout" Parcel Post option? I would gladly offer my customers the choice between Priority and Parcel Post if Vendio would offer a "calculated at Checkout" Parcel Post option.
I would rather my customers not be able to view a cost for a shipping option I cannot offer, but I've yet to find a suitable replacement for my javascript postage calculator. How about it, Vendio? Maybe you could offer a postage calculator, too?

Hello shething,
Thank you for your feedback. A postal rate calculator is something that is 'on the list' - we do realize it is an important feature for our sellers. I do not have a timeframe for implementation right now, but we will announce when this becomes available.

shething,
Did you know that eBay now has a postage calculator. You could "revise" your listings to add it. I was using a pay-per sale one, but the eBay one is more flexible.
It is on the shipping and payment tab when you revise.

I've been reading about eBay's new shipping calculator...I wish Vendio would offer one. I'm not willing to revise each and every one of my listings to get the eBay calc in them.
I just don't have the time! I work a fulltime job and do eBay in my "free" time. I can't afford to waste it revising all my listings.
