I ran across this listing on ebay and I kind of like the way the shipping prices are displayed. Is this a ebay blackthorne calculator or something else? It sure smacks you in the face leaving no doubt as to what the shipping charges are. Would kind of be nice for those buyers THAT CAN NOT READ AND USE A CALCULATOR. Anyone know if is a available program or is this the sellers own software. If you right click on one of them and look at the properties it list www.codemicro.com as the source. Code micro looks to be the sellers company (or who the seller works for).

They look like gif images to me. I guess he edits the fields in a photo editing program for different weights and shipping services.

mbv2602 - Kind of what I was thinking, a edited gif image.
cblev65252 - I know what you mean. I do calculated shipping to. It just gets me sometimes that people still "ask seller a question" about what the shipping prices are when there are TWO shipping calculators in my listing's. I would think something like this would cut down on questions.

Yes, this is something he's generating himself.
On another note, I think eBay might be terribly interested about the misuse of the eBay logo in his listings. He's using it both inside his OWN logo and inside his template header. Unless eBay has granted him the right to do this, I'm pretty sure both are no-nos. (In case anyone is tempted to emulate this...)

fLuff - This is going to sound like a dumb question but here goes. You can't even use the ebay logo in a ebay listing? I would understand using their logo outside their website but I would "think" it's ok to use in their own site. Not a lawyer though so nothing would supprise me.
