Some good questions, and I'll try and answer them one by one...
PS, feel free to post suggestions on our website. If you do one per thread, then it will let us individually track whether we can implement them or not, and if so, then keep you updated.

Yes, they can be deleted, and they can be added without issue, though it will take a lot of time to add them again.

OK

For Example: we would only ship to the continental US, US Military locations, Puerto Rico and Mexico. Then our sellers would not be spending a huge amount of time going through countries when creating their listings. It's just a thought
A good idea. We have some plans in place to improve the postage system in version 2. I'll add these ideas into that where I can.

Thank you!

Can you confirm what you mean by one warning and why you are expecting/wanting two?
The system can and should be sending a PM and an email, unless you have disabled one or the other. I've had a report that there might be some issues with it, which I'm looking into. So any information you can provide would help.

It only emailed when the time was up/over for the auction. It was set for 1 hour before auction was over. Some people like the option of having 2 warnings (being busy people). Like a 1 day or 1 hour warning and time is up in 15 minutes for instance.

For auctions, it should be by standard sending such a message out. Are you able to verify that? Has it happened more than once? What settings do you have for your messaging alerts?

There was no option that I could find for an "outbid" PM or email

If I'm following you correctly, it is already partly possible. A postage option can be created without a user linked to it in the AdminCP which is globally available. We are wanting to improve the postage system to allow for more variety in pricing, etc.

We tried that. The problem is that it says "all countries" when doing this. Our sellers are not able to ship to "all countries" and even if they could the pricing would be different to send a $65 US shipping cost to the UK which would be much higher. We'd have a poor seller and angry buyer because the seller would cancel the sale...

We are planning on a manual for at least the Install and basic running of the mod. The ? idea is a nice one. It might be something we can do.

This would be fantastic!
Also I'd like to add yet one more thing...
In an effort to making our forum a little more "clean" looking, we realized that what isn't clean about it is all the boxes - module boxes that is. I know they're in use in all forums to organize and make things easily found. But in that effort, too much of any one thing is too much and defeats the original purpose. That being said, I would like to request in your next mod update is a way to turn off the module wrapper for the scrolling "featured" boxes that get located around the site. Even if it can be done in the admin settings would be good.) In the meantime, is there a way to edit this in styles possibly?

Thanks for the positive feedback, it makes it worth the effort of developing it.
