Is there an option to have the easy-buy or autoselect only choose stores that
can calculate shipping automatically, rather than having 4-5 shops that show
me shipping and one or two that say TBD, so I still can't tell what my grand
total will be? (A workaround is to"dislike" each TBD shipping store as it shows
up, but I'd like a cleaner way.)

Dear Sirs,

you were so kind to reply to this question ( here are the details:

And you replied explaining about Store Filters and "Instant checkout". Well,
this is a perfect answer I guess and would support also my issue I have with
"Easy Buy". But even checking for weeks the "My BL", I do not have any clue where
to find such entry. Would you be so kind to explain, where I can find this entry?

Thank you for your attention and best regards Joerg.

The filters are on the Buy page: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/wanted/buy.page
, the link is in the Want menu / heart-shaped icon on every page, or if you click
Buy when looking at a Wanted List (not EasyBuy on the list of Wanted Lists).

You’ll need to click the “Expand” link next to the phrase “Store Filters” to
see those filters.

See this help page https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2445 it has pictures
and explanation for the basics.
Feel free to explore and click here and there, nothing bad will happen

And, of course, come back here if you have any other question.

Thank you for your reply.
Well, I found that menu, but at least it does not act on "easy buy", but this
is, what you mentioned already. The instant checkout is also ineffective. I am
surprised, that "easy buy" is so inconvenient or nobody likes to use this
quite good function.

Best regards and thank you for your support.
Joerg

Hello Joerg,

The problem with the "Easy Buy" function is that there are no filters/parameters.
All you can do is click "Easy Buy" and it selects stores for you, from anywhere
in the world and regardless of whether or not the store offers instant checkout.
This makes the feature quite useless in my opinion. However, the wanted list
buy page that SylvainLS mentioned is essentially the same thing if you use the
"Auto-Select" feature, but it allows you filter stores by location, whether or
not they accept instant checkout, etc. This is much more useful in my opinion.

As a side note, the instant checkout filter will filter out stores that do not
accept instant checkout, but that does not necessarily mean that you will actually
be able to check out with instant checkout. For example, I used to have a weight
limit of 16 ounces for instant checkout orders, so my store would show up in
the list if you applied the instant checkout filter, but if your order was over
16 ounces, shipping would show up as TBD and you would not be able to use instant
checkout. Other stores only offer instant checkout for orders under/over a certain
value or only to certain countries.
