Re: setting up basic paypal shopping system

I have set the base to 5 (postage) and extra to 5 (postage) and extra variable to 10 for flat rate handling (cost of box). That works for a single item. For instance, if someone buys 4 of one thing, the charge is $5 x 4 for each for shipping and a flat rate of $10 for a total of $30.

But if a person buys 4 different items, the charge is only $5 which is not right. Sheesh. This is driving me crazy.

There is no way to do this with PayPal's cart, to my knowledge.

The only way I know of doing this is by using the Webshop Plus, which allows for shipping based on quantity, than having a "Handling" charge.

So you could set in example $5 per item, plus $10 for Handling, which gets you to the result you want to acheive.

Is there any way that the basic system can charge a flat rate per order? Like $13 per order would be fine.

Thanks much!!!

Thanks very much BaconFries. I really appreciate all your help.

Is it possible to just make this system charge $13 per order for S&H = no matter the number of items???

Based on your info, BaconFries, I juggled some different costs - base, plus extra plus handling_cart and have it about right. Close enough the client says. I could not have done it without you!!!

thanks big time
