I'm actually hoping that these are teething problems (for lack of a better phrase) that are partly caused (and will therefore be resolved by) the switch from PayPal to on-site payment processing. I know the glitches have been happening forever, but a small part of me hopes it's because eBay always knew it was gonna switch, and the programmers were told to keep that in mind when doing anything re: postage, carts & payments.

I think that's the same part of me also believes in faeries, and I should know better by now, but never the less... I really just hope there's a bigger picture, and that it's not the one titled "get everyone to checkout at the highest cost, as often as possible".
