I suggested this in the past with little to no response but I would like to be
able to have a different minimum order threshold settings for domestic and international
orders. Personally I'm tired of having small value orders that have high
shipping rates eat into my paypal limit. Even the cheapest international shipping
price isn't so cheap anymore. If I get bashed for being a cheapskate so
be it, but I'd like to get everybody else's input on this too.

not a bad idea, the only thing I see that might be a problem with it is that
it seems international buyers try to keep there buys lower total but in multiples
to avoid having to pay some of there countries high taxes. it might turn some
buyers away.

One way to help make up for the cost of shipping on smaller orders is to charge
a fee for all international orders under a certain amount. We charge $1.25 off
all domestic orders under $5.00 and the same charge for all international orders
under $10.00.

I know this is kind of off topic but what is the paypal limit you're talking
about?

Why bother? You have to pay taxes on the profits regardless if it's under
or over 20K

I made similar suggestion many moons ago. It's even more important now.
