Hello together,
as we have been using Instant Checkout for a while now, we want to share some
suggestions for improvements.

One issue we would like to emphasize is that only usernames are noted in Paypal
once an order is placed by using IC. We – and most likely many other Bricklink
Sellers – would highly appreciate if the Order-Id would also be shown in Paypal.
To know the Order-ID is crucial for businesses like us, e.g. when it comes to
taxation issues, where we need to allocate a concrete Order to each payment.
With the current system, we need to do that manually, what requires a lot of
effort which could easily be saved.

Another improvement we would love to see would be to show buyers already in the
shopping cart how much weight they can add without falling in the next higher
category of shipping costs. This would help the buyers to optimize their orders
if they like to.

Furthermore, we are experiencing some rounding errors concerning the VAT of shipping
costs. Currently, the VAT of the shipping costs is constantly rounded up (e.g.
EUR 1.0005 is rounded to EUR 1.01). This is not coherent with the rounding of
the item values which is correctly rounded commercially (e.g. EUR 1.0005 should
is rounded to EUR 1.00). Because of that, it is currently not possible to have
shipping costs of e.g. EUR 5.90 while having the VAT calculated correctly.

Finally, we would appreciate to have the option to hide the item dimensions (but
not the weight) when looking at particular orders. This would make printing orders
more printer-friendly. In this regard, we would also appreciate if the prices
could be rounded to 3 positions after decimal point (e.g. EUR 1.034). The current
rounding to 5 positions after decimal point (e.g. EUR 1.03456) is not useful
from our perspective. The potentially saved space could ideally be used to extend
the space of the item description. Again, this would make an order way more printer-friendly.
Although we know that the issues concerning making order more printer-friendly
are minor points. However, we want to emphasize them so that they might be implemented
in the future.

Thank you very much!

Cheers,
Wanja from MagicMagnus
