1) please expand the description of the shopping cart weight, for it to be clear
that it is not the SHIPPING weight.
"Please be aware that the estimated weight may be inaccurate. Allow some weight
for packaging materials. Do not stare at this warning too long to avoid damage
to your eyesight"
Or whatever.
2) please make it in bold
3) please make it in red
4) please make it 3 TIMES THE REGULAR SHIFT
5) Rename "Shopping Cart" to "My Bucket"

Dont ask me how it works, but every now and then some buyers think that I can
pack their order using 0.03 grams worth of packaging material

This site improvement will, literally, take only a few minutes. But will make
many sellers eternally grateful.
Thanks!

P.S. excuse my tone. Now I feel much better.

Thank you for your suggestion! I voted yes.

Please also state in words if the displayed weight does *not* include all items
in the cart, and add parentheses around the displayed weight, and "Weight missing"
or "?" for an item that is missing a weight in the catalog.

Example of text: "Note that the shopping cart weight is valid for only 7 of 9
items in the shopping cart.

I agree with these suggestions. I also think it should not be allowed to turn
off all the weight information by a seller. Make it obvious that there is additional
weight to any order shipped for novice buyers.

I just looked at an order that was placed in my store. It is correct that the
item for which there is no weight in the catalog is marked with a "?" on the
order page. In the line "Estimated Weight of Order:" there is no indication that
the displayed weight excludes the weight for that one item, and as such is invalid.

You need to look at the shopping cart.
Example:

My Shopping Cart contains 6 Items in 6 Lots totalling EUR 59.95
Estimated Weight of 4(bold red font) Lots in My Shopping Cart:

bold red font: 1lbs 0.58oz 470.00g
red font: (not included are 2(bold red font) lots with unknown
weight shown with ? above)
