If you sell a lot of marginal items, its not always obvious if they will flatten down or not. Cuts out a potential cause of error and also streamlines listing. If I were to use a shipping cost rather than freepost route i would probably pick a flat cost of say $5 which in most cases would be under actual rather than try to be accurate and get it wrong.
ASSUMPTION IS THE MOTHER OF ALL STUFF UPS!!

I weigh all my items before listing, and include the weight in the listing, both for my own benefit when working out the appropriate postage and also so people can work out whether they can fit more within the satchel (I mostly use prepaid satchels). Buying more than one item is usually a win-win for both buyer (postage cost is less per item) ansd seller (FVF on postage is reduced).
That would defeat the purpose of using single, flat rate postage price. I refer back to one of my earlier posts where I mention some of the reasons I use a single, flat rate postage charge.
This kind of thing is still just looking at the postage price alone, and judging it based on "what I would do" kind of thing - it's not applicable, because this seller has a different perpective, and doesn't do what you do, so you can't say "this is how I work things out, so I expect it's how everyone else should operate, too".
