Does this change anything with regards to the steps above?

Thanks for your kind answer.

When will the new shipping features roll out? I may just wait if you think it's worth waiting for.

We have the CDs all produced already, but thank you for letting me know about Swift!]]> E-junkie Discussions; indiemanagers http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/2789/pg/0#post7414 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/2789/pg/0#post7414 Wed, 13 Aug 2008 02:18:40 GMT
((cost per oz.) X (total product wt. + container wt.)) + (container cost) + (handling cost)

The (cost per oz.) part would be determined either by a flat per-oz. rate you specify for Domestic or International shipping, or otherwise by standard USPS rates if you have your zipcode entered without any custom rates in Seller Admin > Cart Shipping Settings (we compare USPS First Class vs. Priority and apply whichever rate is cheaper). Note that you can "game" the formula by applying non-literal figures for various settings, so the formula adds up the way you want. Also note that the Tube container types can consolidate various products into a single parcel, whereas the other containers all assume each product would be shipped separately.

I think this approach should be fairly close to what you described:

* Log into your E-junkie Seller Admin > Cart Shipping Settings;
* Delete your zipcode (which will disable USPS ounce-rates);
* Set your Domestic rate to 1.00, and your International rate to 2.00;
* Set your Handling charge (lower right corner) to $0.00;
* Set the Large Tube container's Cost to $0.00 and Weight to 3.00;
* Submit to save changes;
* Configure each CD product with a weight of 1.00, to ship in a Large Tube with a capacity of 9999 units.

The above would charge $4 for 1st CD and $1 ea. add'l CD within the US, and $8 for 1st CD and $2 ea. add'l CD going outside the US. You can try applying different figures to get different results, if you wish.

BTW, you might also consider using SwiftCD to duplicate, package and drop-ship your CDs for you, integrated with our cart to have them send CDs for you whenever a payment is completed on an E-junkie cart order:
send order data to them on-the-fly:

I have used e-Junkie for downloads and it's great, but I'm not quickly grasping how things work with calculating shipping using e-Junkie.

The way I have it now I am selling the CDs for a set price, but I have Domestic or Shipping options for one piece only. I am using regular Paypal buttons for this.

Domestic shipping (US/Canad) is $4
International is $8 shipping.

The reason I want to go to e-Junkie is because right now I can't very easily sell multiples.

I want to work it so that:

-User can enter a quantity of CDs wanted and then the shipping is calculated:
US/Canada $4 for 1st CD and then $1 for each additional CD purchased
International $8 for 1st CD and then $1 for each additional CD purchased.

Can I do this using e-Junkie?

Thanks]]> E-junkie Discussions; indiemanagers
