There is no setting that I know of for this. (Thank goodness!) Free shipping
is not really a viable thing with a product that costs so little per piece. However,
some stores do offer free or discounted shipping on larger sets or once you
hit a certain order total. They will likely advertise this in their store terms.

Please do not ignore all the other stores though! We are not a huge corporation
like amazon, postage is not already wrapped up in the price of things like ebay,
and most sellers here charge you no more than what they actually pay for postage.

Cheaper shipping - there are no options to do this

No shopping - I assume you mean free shipping. There is no such thing as free
shipping. You either pay for shipping as a separately listed cost or the shipping
is embedded in the cost of the pieces/sets you are buying.

In my experience, sellers that offer "free" shipping, generally charge
more in fees for "handling" or paypal, or have a higher item price.
Just use the wanted lists and autobuy to get a good starting point and work
from there.
