I would love to have checkboxes for "no additional fees" and "charges actual
postage only" when searching to buy, both individual items and for the wanted
list search. Alternatly, a max additional fee amount would be good. And a pipe
dream of "shipping included", since I don't know if any other stores are
offering this.

It would let me (and my customers) know if the store I'm looking at is *really*
offering the lowest price, or if they are going to tack on several dollars worth
of lot fees, handling fees, packaging fees, etc. In which case, the forth, fifth,
or tenth store down the list would be a better deal for me. Yes, I can find
this info in the store terms, but I have to go through each one to do so.

If I had checkboxes for
[] No additional fees
[] Free shipping

I am sure that it would drive many more customers to my store, who never get
to see OOO_Shiny pop up in their search results otherwise.

It would also encourage more stores to have these policies, which I really believe
benefit the customers, and would improve the overall bricklink experience.

Thanks for consideration and feedback.

That seems to be a skill I should develop.
This seems to be my third post this week that would have been answered with a
search. Apparently, my thoughts aren't as original as I think they are!

I don't think we need yet another way-point on the road to auto-checkout.
We just need to skip to the finish line. Once auto-checkout exists, all those
problems are solved.

What does "charges actual postage" mean? This would need to be spelled out exactly
by bricklink. For example, is it just the stamps cost, stamps plus VAT where
a seller needs to charge VAT, stamps plus the packaging cost, etc.
