PayPal_Bivens: Your post explained why so many of us are having difficulties, but it did not tell us any way around it. We ship some items that are under $5, and the shipping options for that are fine, as they go out via USPS 1st class mail. The rate is the same for anywhere in the country. We also ship other items via USPS Priority Mail. If someone orders an item, or several, that - by nature - need to be shipped Priority, the rates vary throughout the country. I can find nowhere on PayPal shipping options, to separate shipping from our area of the country, to different zones. If we were able to simply have PayPal's shipping calculator set up, so that the charges would be different, automatically, for different regions of the country - that would be ideal. We are only allowed a few different options, which hardly cover several different quantities, or weights, or regions. I hope I am making this clear. It has been a frustration for us, for quite a while, and apparently we are not alone. For instance, I have paid about $5 to ship something within our state, but over $20 to ship the identical order, to a state on the other coast of the US. Since the customer ordering the items is paying with PayPal, their location is automatically stored in your system, and it would seem an easy thing to do, to have the shipping charges come up, accurately - automatically. If I am missing something, I apologize, but the area on PayPal for a user to set up our shipping preferences and shipping options, is not very "user-friendly", or easy to navigate. We really do need help!
