Actually it is very possible to have a software program calculate correct postage, There are scripts/programs that have been written (very inexpensive) which calculate weight, size of box needed to ship (based on dimensions of items), and any additional shipping fees you want to add. It will take the final value fee and calculate the insurance charges for the items sold. It allows you to pick the carrier amongst other things.
I have this program for the thousands of items that I sell, I ship all over the world, weights vary from 2oz, to 2400 lbs.
I am surprised that any auction house that sells millions of dollars of items, makes hundreds of thousands in fees doesn't invest less than 1000.00 in software of this type that will take additional headaches out of the action process.
