complete the transaction on PayPal and there was nothing that the company=20
could do about it...the quality of the service was totally outside of their=

the capabilities of the system since the shopping cart was controlled=20
by PayPal, not by the merchant.
Like many other things, you do business a different way when the volume of=

Have y'all tried Mal's ECommerce? http://www.mals-e.com is the website.
Mal offers a free shopping cart, which is what I've used on my website for
years and it works great. Customers can pay with paypal, no problemo.
