Hi,

would it not be great to be able to use macro tags for buyer location (domestic/other,
whereas I would like to differentiate between EU and other) in your splash page
and terms?

Buyer could be provided only terms and shipping cost information which apply
to him. This would make the pages a lot more friendly to read and find the information
needed.

Im am trying to fit more and more information into my terms but it is more and
more to read or to find which applies to the buyers, so this would help a lot
I think.

Novel idea and good reasoning for it, but I don't think it's really possible
to implement. Among the issue with having to attempt to combine HTML and BL
code, the problem is that the system doesn't know you buyer's location until
after they click the checkout button. ANYone can view store terms before buying,
logging in to Bricklink, or even registering for the membership and I think the
potential buyer's ability to see the "contract" before committing to it
is the top priority.
