account accounts added additional amount calculate calculated cart changed charges check checked checkout click configured costs current during enable entering existing few forums handling item matter order orders over override page payment paypal preferences ready related remove rules settings shipping showing steps tangible wanted

I have a question about shipping. Based on reading the forums, I see that I can't do a set $ amount to a set shipping amount (Currently my structure is set to less than $20 is $3, up to $49.99 is $5, etc). While weighing each item is actually a more accurate way to do it, I'm not quite ready to switch shipping costs over to a different scheme yet. I currently only take payment through paypal - is there a way to let paypal calculate the shipping charges for me based on the dollar amount if I leave my preferences in my paypal account intact?

Simple experimentation is showing that once you click "Check out with Paypal" an additional $3.00 is added to the shipping/handling with my current settings if I have shipping checked on my tangible item at all. This is the same no matter what dollar amount is in my cart. I don't want to flip off my paypal settings yet until I'm sure I'm switching over completely (it would mess up any existing orders that are coming through)

Reading through the forums, I'm not seeing a way around this - but wanted to check if you had any ideas. Thanks!

It seems like PayPal has changed a few things related to shipping for U.S accounts. Basically, we can't override any shipping rules you have configured in your PayPal Profile so you will need to remove those rules if you want us to calculate the shipping or you can simply
enable shipping in E-junkie without entering any shipping settings so that the shipping calculated by our cart will be 0 and PayPal will add the shipping to the order during checkout.

If you use our cart to calculate the shipping, then what you need can be achieved by following the steps given at http://www.e-junkie.com/ej/help.shipping.php

Please see "If you want to use order amount based shipping" in that page.
