How do I show shipping amount other than "NONE" ...

The shipping amount appears to be a numerical field, that if one puts no value into it, the result is that it says NONE for shipping costs.

The problem with this is that the seller may want to charge shipping costs, but he really doesn't know how much to fill in as he has no idea where the potential buyer may be located geographically, so it's a variable cost known only AFTER the sale. It's a problem in code flow logic.

We've added a custom field to inform the potential buyer that 'shipping costs" are:

Included?: YES or NO (check box used)

So, if it's checked YES and the ad reader sees NONE under shipping costs, it's confusing.

Is there any way to have this make more sense? ie: is there a way of saying TBA (to be arranged) instead of NONE if the shipping costs field is empty?

Thanks Chuck ..

Regards,
Doug
