This might be a new bug or a long-standing one that I've only now taken notice.
If you, as a seller, have selected Flat-rate shipping and/or domestic lettermail for your item and you have multiples of it placed in your cart, people who are ineligible for free postage will see only FREE postage as an option in their shopping cart.
I am unclear as to what the lynch pin is with this since I can only speak for the way my own items are set-up. I found this is another seller's listings, and tried to re-create it with mine. I could only do so with the listings where I had set-up flats-rate domestically. Calculated shipping still worked to combine properly.
Here is my example. These items do not ship free to buyers in the States unless the 10+ rule is triggered. Merely adding a second item will make it show free in the Shopping Cart whereas it still properly combines postage estimates on the listing page itself. Again, these items doc not ship free to the USA unless ten are bought, not two.
This is how it is supposed to combine, as per the listing page estimate.
And this is the price for postage as it is supposed to be with only one item in the cart. You'll also notice that, instead of adding the second item at no additional charge and not altogether free, the option for different postage services vanishes. There should be three speeds to choose from for that particular listing in the cart.
It's not the American address that triggers the errors for me. I went back to my buying account and switched my Shipping Address from USA to my Canadian one, logged out, logged back in to let it take affect and I was able to re-create that error but, even more confusingly, it took additional items to do it. Know what I mean? With the USA address as my ship-to, I could create the error with only two items in the cart but with the Canadian one it took more items in terms of the total number of items not even how many were multiples form the same listing.
I was unable to re-create it with flat-rate domestic shipping because all of my domestic lettermail orders already ship free.
Isolating my experiment to calculated shipping, this is the point it went off. The first one is still good. The second is wrong.
Here's where it makes even less sense. This is one of the instances where I can make a Calculated domestic item show incorrect free postage with only two items in my cart. (Like pj said.) This is what two is supposed to cost.
Its not just the cart, its in the listings. I haven't checked ALL your listings but a few so for example the mickey mouse one it shows FREE on the listing
