With instant checkout looming around the corner, I would like to have the option
for my buyers to be able to use the instant checkout option when purchasing my
electronically delivered custom model instructions.

However, at the moment, I cannot differentiate these electronic instructions
from actual paper instructions. I am not allowed to set the weight to zero grams
or selecting a checkbox that these are electronic. How will this be handled during
instant checkout with causing some sort of error?

Please allow for an option for sellers of custom instructions to be able to allow
instant checkout.

There are other sellers who use Bricklink for selling these and would benefit
from this implementation. It would also cause less issues and confusion if this
is properly handled. Lastly, this will draw more sellers of custom instructions
to sell through Bricklink instead of other venues.

Thank you for the consideration.

I went into the preview and made a shipping method with no cost, and made a note
for people only buying digital instructions to use it. It would be better if
we could designate certain items to only use certain shipping methods. You can
go see what I did by going to my store in the preview site and buying instructions.

But that shipping method is not limited only to instructions. Buyers can also
select it if they buy items that need to be shipped. I just checked your store
and it was the first listed and automatically selected shipping method. So buyers
will easily accidentally select it if they're not paying attention and just
quickly want to check out.

Yes that is the problem with a shipping method like that.

Thank you both for the input. That is exactly the point of my suggestion. I feel
that BL team needs to create a an electronic shipping option that won't allow
physical items to be checked out. In addition, the electronic items need to be
differentiated from physical items, either via a new category or weight. Currently
weight of zero grams is not allowed.
