Anyone had luck finding that perfect storefront? That is searchable, will host your images, launch your auctions, send out your EOA email? Has a shopping cart?
I found those-- but WHERE is the one that will let you enter rates for media or priority for individual items, allow the customer to choose which they want, plus have the feature for reducing shipping for multiple purchases?
All I've found base things per item, instead of allowing you to enter weight. How nice it would be if a site could calculate the shipping based on weight & shipping preference!!!

Hello? I had hoped someone might have a clue. Afterall, I can see a warehouse setting shipping on per item, as it must be located and "picked."
But, we as sellers, pay shipping on weight at the post office- not by how many items are in the box.

I think an alternative for what you are looking for might be to use a fixed shipping Price
simply offer Prority or first class shipping.
I offer fixed shipping rates based on average weight of Items I sell.
1oz to 9oz $2.75
9oz to 31oz $3.95
and so on ..
I don't offer a choice of shipping method this can get very confuseing after you start getting more then a few winning bids daily.
my rule is if an envelope will work safely it will usually ship first class this method basically gets the same treatment as priority.
if it requires a box it goes priority,if its larger then the postoffice will handle the buyer pays for UPS shipping.
