Is there any chance of bringing back the option for sellers to select a default
shipping method? Since rolling out Instant Checkout my default method has become
local pickup, (No idea why, certainly not my choice) which would be fine if buyers
actually read the description. I now have orders being paid for on a daily basis
by people living thousands of kilometers away that I then have to go through
the hassle of getting shipping money from.

I've found this solution:

'For instant checkout shipping methods are sorting from cheapest to most
expensive
with cheapest selected by default. If you don't want pickup at the top you
can change that shipping method to manual invoice. That will put it at the bottom.'

Yes, this definitely should be implemented. I am honestly surprised setting defaults
is missing entirely. Not just for shipping methods, also for payment method and
currency we really need to be able to set a default to avoid a confusing and
error prone user experience.

The system is so flexible and accomodating, it's really well done (thanks
team! ). But this basic feature that even used to be there in the past is now
missing, odd!

I also just posted about this: https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1061672
Not sure if you saw but decided to repost it as a suggestion, or that you missed
it, but in case you missed it, it beautifully illustrates the point that I am
making there about how dysfunctional this Bricklink forum is
