not solution work-around.
i disabled paypal's automatic postage calculations. (the website in question has back-issues of magazine sale - each own wretched paypal button! rest of concerns cds, similar work-around magazines.)
i created 3 new paypal 'add cart' buttons; 1 buying 1 cd, 1 buying 2 cd set , 1 buying 3 cd set. each has drop-down choice 4 royal mail postage rates; uk, europe, zone 1 , zone 2.
in future, need editing when postage increases 3 new add cart instructions. (the way society sends cds, cost @ present of sending 1 or 2 discs in fact same, created separate buttons in case future postage costs change that. wanted done now!)
the tedious task adding new paypal 'add cart' postage buttons each page items ordered - 200 pages in all!
carrrrramba can say.
so customer finds cd want , clicks 'add cart' button. each page tells customer postage , select correct amount drop-down options i.e. uk, europe, zone 1 or zone 2 , 'add cart'. hit check-out, wham, bam, thank ma'am.
what can possibly go wrong?
