I am in the process of setting up my new online store. This time I intended to use Paypal as the payment processor. Now, is there a way or option ofr me to set the shipping cost to be calculated automatically based on each of the country or zone that I wanted to apply additional charges?

Apart from this, is there also an option for me to implement a flat shipping fee for any area within the country of the customer? Or is it already pre-set??

Any guide?

Well, shipping cost depend on many issues, weight and packaging among them. So I doubt there is such a thing as an automatic tool. However, you can set your flate shipping rate in paypal, and that is added automatically at the bill:

Hi Pamil, thanks for the link. I search it thru and ask paypal for some guides. It really helps a lots! I think I am ready to go for it. Well, just with any new start up, there bounce to be new things popping up, and some unexpected "barriers" along the process. But with the helps from others , it coud be overcomed! Cheesy

Thanks again for your kind enlightenment.

I love Paypal for shipping. It is really very easy to enter weight and print out a label. It's better than standing in a line at the post office.

I like paypal too. Just beware of others trying to say they are paypal through email and being a fraudulent account. They try to get your information that way.
