This is an international market and each store has their own shipping rules.
PLEASE find a way to automatically include shipping costs before we request to
buy. You have our zip codes. Automate it. I don't like wasting sellers time
when shipping is outlandish

It allready exist.

You can filter stores which has instant checkout (lightning bolt).

Some stores don't want it.

You don't need IC to show the potential buyer what the total cost likely
will be.
In my store (currently closed) buyers get to see the total price when in checkout,
just the same as with IC.
I don't have IC because there are a lot of variables that can screw the IC.

As for the OPS request, this isn't going to happen as it is now.

That would be an awesome feature, but just for domestic shipping (whether it
is for The Netherlands or the USA), there are various shipping companies, each
with their own rules, shipping rates, additional shipping options, etc. And even
with all of that, different sellers use different packaging techniques which
affects dimensions and weights which can cause packages from some sellers to
get a higher shipping rate than it would have been with other sellers. This system
would be labour-intensive or hightech, as it needs to be updated at all times
or connected to all the shipping companies' systems. And then there is international
shipping, which leads to a lot more destinations and many more shipping companies
and therefore countless more shipping options.

This would be an awesome but I fear an impossible feature. In this case, I advise
to go to shops with Instant Checkout, then you won't get any surprising costs.
Good luck!

Regards,

Anthony.
