I saw the blurb about the Smart Logos. Sounds like a neat idea, but I don't understand how the Logo will know the correct S/H amount to be added to the winning bid amount.. I do NOT want to be in a situation where buyers use the logo, pay for it, but end up only paying the Bid Price and no S/H...
Thanks. I am trying to get some more information on this feature and how it works. I will come back and report the information here (I haven't had a chance to play around with it yet).

I was playing around with the Smart Logo code today, and I was able to enter my own shipping information. It does require a slight modification to the HTML, and you'll have to insert them manually. But, here goes. Here's the code from the PayPal website:
<!-- Begin PayPal Logo -->
<A name="#BID"></A>
<P align="center"><A HREF="https://www.paypal.com/xclick-auction/business=user%40mail.com&auction_type=Ebay" target="_blank">
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="Javascript" SRC="http://images.paypal.com/images/js/logov.js"></SCRIPT>
<NOSCRIPT>
<IMG SRC="http://images.paypal.com/images/lgo/pplvd.gif" BORDER=0 ALT="I prefer PayPal, the #1 payment service in online auctions!">
</NOSCRIPT></A>
<!-- End PayPal Logo -->
Just add "&shipping=1.00" after "&auction_type=Ebay" (replace 1.00 with your shipping charge, and don't add any quotes.)
With some additional modifications, and some knowledge of JavaScript, you can even replace the PayPal logos with logos that you've drawn up yourself.
By the way, the first part of the HTML, <A name="#BID"> sends the user to the PayPal logo instead of the bidding area when they click on the "Bid" link on the page. Neat!
