I have 3 options for shipping domestic - flat rate, priority and express. Customers may choose whichever is the best value for them. International customers have the option to go Air Letter, or Global Express. They do NOT have any flat rate option.

Problem is that once the order is confirmed, no matter what they choose, Paypal only charges the flat shipping rate to both domestic and Intl. customers. If you do not go thru Paypal and elect to mail in payment by check or money order, the shipping total reflected in the invoice is correct. So, somehow when the transaction is passed off to Paypal, the shipping rate is getting fixed at the flat rate.

I've searched and read for nearly 2 hours now and can't find this recorded anywhere. I need to list a bunch of new products but can't as I have a lot of international customers and can't afford to give them all flat rate shipping.

HELP PLEASE!

Well, I spent some time thinking about it instead of searching and managed ti figure it out. It was the actual paypal based shipping setting that were over-riding the amounts sent by OSC. Just in case someone else is ever as dumb as I was, that's how ya fix it :)

Hi Apriorius

I am having the same problem

I fixed it last time but my site had messed up since so had to do it again

It was something in the /ext/modules/payment/paypal/express.php file I changed to overide it from being £1.99 to £4.99

It was a number i had to change that related to the sort order number

Can you help me please

Thank you

Ian
