I can't address all the points above due to time constraints, Hendrix99, but as far as making buyers include a certain shipping option, that is not possible. Silk Road is a free-market marketplace, and attempting to force vendors to include a certain shipping option would be tantamount to market regulation which is something that we simply cannot allow to occur. Both buyers and vendors suffer in markets that enforce regulation - you can see this clear as day in the real-world markets with falsely inflated prices, for instance. As far whether it was "a good idea or not", all ideas are good ideas when they're laid out for discussion! It is only by doing this that we find solutions to our problems! Again, sorry I can't engage with you on all the points you've brought up, but I'm very busy at the moment. I'm sure others will chime in here though if they agree that a feature based around the idea you have put forward is warranted. Libertas
