When a seller offers free shipping for orders over a certain amount is it customary/expected
to ship it priority? What about orders over $100? Over $200?

With my free shipping at $50, I ship the least expensive way. Sometimes it is
priority, sometimes it is not.

I don't think it's customary. I've definitely shipped orders over
$100 via other methods.

I would expect the cheapest shipping method if free shipping was offered.

I would say no because they would be getting free shipping.

Not really. My shop offers free shipping after $80. I will go for the cheapest
shipping when I can, but that kind of money usually means a large amount of parts,
so these orders will typically be sent Priority anyways. But if someone orders
a bunch of minifigs, hits the marks, and it weighs under a pound, they'll
get First Class. It still comes with tracking, and so far, no one has had anything
to say about it one way or the other.
