Marketplace - Multiple Purchases not in Dollars - Checkout or Bargain Packs?

HI, I am put off from buying from the Marketplace because of the costs that relate to converting £ to $ for small amounts.  I'm tempted to buy a lot of Devin's packs, for example.  I can see two possible solutions. Solution 1 : Roll20 provide a checkout style option.  This would allow a number of items to be selected and then purchased with one transction.  From my point of view this would be great, as it allows purchase of multiple items from multiple suppliers.  I assume that Roll20 would not easily implement this given they would have to pass on payments to the various suppliers, or is this already going via Roll20? Solution 2 : Bargain packs could be offerred whereby one can buy sets of these smaller items.  This would be supplier-by-supplier of course so is not something for Roll20 themselves. Thoughts?

Could you add up all the things you want to purchase then fund PayPal once with a single conversion from £ to $ and then use PayPal to pay for each of the purchases on the Marketplace? Having written many e-commerce sites (back when people still called them e-commerce sites, no less!), I don't think your Solution 1 would not be a problem from a content provider payment distribution standpoint.  I'd like to see a cart implementation, particularly if it came with a wish list implementation. =D  To my knowledged, Roll20 has never done any bargain packs or other discounts so your Solution 2 seems pretty unlikely.
I think he meant "bundled" packs, not bargains per se.I also would rather do a single transaction than one offs, just from a bookkeeping standpoint.

Probably so.  Even given Solution 2 is a suggestion for bundles, I think it would be easier on the development team to do the cart thing rather than creating a new type of product which unlocks other products.  That also opens up the problem of "what if I own one of the sets in the bundle already?" and similar.   Solution 1 lets you make your own "bundle" out of whatever sets you want to buy. =D  Probably there's a suggestion for shopping carts already...
