Any ideas?")* Did you try to buy that virtual product just after trying to buy a real product without logging in and out ? It could be that the shipping information is still stored in the session after the order is done and thus, it still charges the shipping. If that's the case, you should see the shipping fees on the cart before finishing the order.

Any ideas?")* Yep I have bought several of my items as I am just testing at the moment, within the same session. Ok just going back to it now, I see the postage added on the checkout (even though the option isnt there). So surely though this is some sort of error? Because if no postage is set within the product (weight etc), then NO postage should be charged. How do you go about fixing that with sessions?

That's not really a big bug as usually you won't have someone trying to make two orders the same day and his user session would have expired by the time he tries to make another order. For your tests you can easily fix that by logging out and in between two orders.
