Head to head with BigCartel

If you dont' know about BigCartel - it is basically a web front end for your products that backend with PayPal - so essentially it has minimal settings and relies on PayPal for shipping information - you can choose whether to use individual shipping on an item (like local modules) or have PayPal configure the shipping automagically (based on your size, weight, # of items and such).

I saw another support article where they said to use 'Free Shipping' and set it to $0.00, then change some text so it shows the words 'Shipping calculated in Paypal' - but of course, I couldn't get it to work - - http://forum.opencart.com/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=12155 - but anyway, was just wondering if this would be something that could be implemented - I've attached a SS of the BigCartel settings for a product as I currently have a store there and would love to stop paying them $9.99 per month and go exclusively with OpenCart -

Here's an example where it uses your PayPal settings


Here's an example where I offer free shipping (it's a sticker) Is this something that could be easily implemented - I'm just asking because you guys seem to have covered all of the bases so far and I appreciate the hard work and attention to detail. Maybe this is already part of the system and I'm missing something - I just wanted the customer to know that the shipping is done later and not to be confused with the $0.00, then charged later.

id love to use this but per product in opencart.

so each product would have a flat rate and then a with others rate . within each product option.
