@miriam@ebay DE I ship a lot abroad, and weight/quantity often matters. In the shipping settings, you used to be able to select "Additional costs for each additional item." Ebay has quietly changed this to "Additional costs for each additional IDENTICAL item." This has certain effects, especially for shipping to countries where enormous shipping costs can arise (USA, GB...) - here I actually can't work with flat shipping rates, but wanted to at least soften that a bit with a setting of one additional euro per item that is ordered. But because of Ebay's change, my flat rate is simply applied, since different items are being ordered instead of identical ones. Or put another way: I end up stuck with my set shipping flat rate, even though I would actually have to charge significantly more for shipping. Can we expect a change back to the old settings? For me, it's not a solution to disable the flat rate for certain countries and charge each item with the full shipping amount, because that scares customers off when they first get shipping calculated 10 times...
