Paying shipping on shipping?

I have gotten my shipping pricing pretty much under control, with one problem. I have some cheap items that ship for free with any other order, but I have to charge shipping for if they go alone.
I tried to do this by adding an ADD TO CART button with a pull down, so the buyer could select US or overseas shipping and pay a few more dollars for postage.
Worked fine, until I realized the checkout page was charging shipping on the shipping, seeing the shipping charges as an additional item. Not surprising, as I had used the ADD TO CART button, but I couldn't find a button just for making an extra payment.
I had solved this problem on the items themselves, by putting
<input type="hidden" name="shipping" value="0.00">
<input type="hidden" name="shipping2" value="0.00">
inside the code for the items to override the shipping general shipping charges. I tried doing the same with the drop down code, but it doesn't seem to work with it. Any suggestions?
