Hey sorry to post on this board but I dont know where to go to post. But my question is this,paypal's shipping charges work like this: They make you set a shipping charge for a price range, like 0.001-9.99 could be a shipping charge of 6 dollars say. But the problem is this, I get my products from dropshippers and they have the same paying method, but I have many diffrent dropshipping places I use, so when someone orders something for say 6 dollars from me then they order another product for 6 dollars the shipping price only goes up a few dollars on my site, but the problem lays here if a customer buys a prodcuts I got from one company and then he buys another product that I got from another company. In the end result my shipping rate only charges 6 dollars whn I have to pay 6 dollars shipping to each seperate companys, so I lose 6 dollars. Do you see what im saying, If someone buys two cheap products from me they only have to pay 6 dollars, but if the two products they buy from me are from diffrent dropshippers I have to pay 6 dollars shipping for each of the companys. Is there any other way that I can change the way people pay me from paypal, like where I can set a shipping price for each item, or set it by pounds? In the end result to avoid losing money I have made my shipping expensive. I dont want it to be expensive but is there any other way. Thanks for all your help.

That is a problem with drop shipping. I have one product that is drop shipped and I just added a little extra to the retail price. Not enough to be uncompetitive, and certainly not enough to cover the extra cost of shipping, you need items the retail in the $50.00 range. If the items are in a lower price range, it just doesn't work to have mutable drop ship items on the same website.
There are shopping cart systems that will increase shipping rates based on the item, but the above pricing problem still applies. One option is to run them as different websites.
I think I'll ask a Jimbot to move this thread to eCommerce Issues and we might get some optional ideas there.
