I need to generate a PayPal "Buy Now" button to sell a book.
Can someone explain to me how to implement the automatic shipping costs calculation with PayPal?
The documentation refers to an option that does not exist in the merchant menu. I've looked everywhere, can't seem to find it.
In case this is relevant, my account is based in Belgium.

I'm assuming this is the same for accounts no matter the country, but I could be wrong. (I'm in Canada.)
Shipping preferences are under Profile (click the menu item, not the drop down) > Shipping Calculations (under Selling Preferences). You can try this link, but I don't know if it will work: https://www.paypal.com/ca/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_profile-shipping
Here you can setup a flat rate or percentage and then enter in the amounts and price ranges they are for.
By the way, I too find PayPal's menu to be extremely confusing.
