I am an international seller and the new multi currency feature seems like an excellent feature. However I want a flat rate shipping system - I used to charge one price for any item, anywhere. I accept payments in pounds stirling (GBP) and it now seems I have no choice but to charge a shipping fee per item sold. This seems like a fairly major flaw in the whole accepting-multiple-currency idea, for a very simple calculation that could be made. I sometimes sell one item at a time (shipping is undercharged) and sometimes many (in which case shipping is overcharged), have I missed something that can solve my problem? I thought of using the shipping2="0.00" on each item but that just means shipping gets added sometimes but not others when multiple items are selected. The other idea I had was to use javascript to automatically add my one-off shipping cost, but it could be deleted from the cart by the buyer... Thanks for your help

You may want to review the 3rd Party Solutions of the PDN for International Shopping carts that will meet your needs.

Is it possible to have paypal calculate shipping costs internationally *without* using a 3rd party tool?

I'd like to use the standard Paypal shopping cart, but it only adds shipping costs if you're taking payment in US dollars, and I want to take payment in UK pounds.

If not, will this feature be added in the near future? This could be a problem for many international users.

You can having multi-currency shipping by using the "shipping" variable in your Add to Cart or Pay button.

Profile Shipping Calculation is USD-only.
