Lisa,
Very nice tip! I too have been looking to getting a shoppng cart setup.
I have issues with Paypal so this looks promising.
As a related item... I use Propay (http://www.propay.com/) internet
merchant services for my credit card sales. Good rates, excellent
service so far. Works well for artists and very small businesses. I have
used their service now for 9 months now and I'm really happy with them.
Again, thanks for the tip.

Hi all,
I'm considering adding either a secure server form or a shopping cart
system to my homemade web site. I just used Paypal to pay for something
online and their web site says you can use a shopping cart system and
accept credit card payments through them for 1.9%-2.9% + 30 cents a
transaction. This is definitely cheap enough. Has anyone out there set
this up for their own web site? Is the shopping cart set up hard? Is
their tech support good?

Hi Jennifer,
I am interested in the same thing. My question is what about payment for
shipping? I think that needs to be paid for at the same time. I wonder if
you or anyone on the list has a strategy for requesting shipping payment at
the time of Paypal payment?
Thanks,

Jennifer;
I recently went to the Paypal Shopping cart system, and have made a =
number
of successful transactions. Last year I tried to go with Verisign, but
found it to complex and expensive for me. One thing that seems to help =
with
the paypal, is that I have my bank account hooked up to it so that money =
can
flow both ways. It took me just about a day to set it up and I started
making sales the next day.

Rikki;
The basic Paypal shopping cart has a couple of ways of calculating =
shipping,
either as a flat rate based on certain price points, or by a percentage. =
I
would prefer a method based on distance, but it actually works out ok =
for me
as it is.

Jennifer,
I use Mal's ECommerce shopping cart. It is secure, and it is totally free.
You can use it to have people pay via Paypal and not have to pay the per
transaction fee. :)) www.mals-e.com is the website. I have been using this
shopping cart since we did the cookbook back in 2001 with ZERO problems.

I am new to this but i think you still need a seperate shopping cart
application in addition to the paypal system - the paypal just handles the
financial aspect of it.I just downloaded the following shopping cart
application the other day and a friend is going to instal it for me later
this week:
http://www.pagedowntech.com/
I went with the advanced version but you can start with the basic one for
very cheap. I did my site with dreamweaver but it is on a server with
microsoft applications, and this particular shopping cart seems like it is
meant mainly for ASP which is the microsoft system. You could call them and
tell them what kind of system you have and they can tell you if it will
work.
I think the hardest part about shopping carts is that they generally do not
come with an install program like other softwares - you can't just click on
a link to have them automatically installed because they are done
differently depending on what sytem you have.
I am sure anyone could set it up one way or another, it is just easier for
some than others. That's why i am letting my computer tech friend do it for
me, but if i didn't know him i would just figure it out as best i can.

If you go to
https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_wp-standard-overview-
outside
and scroll down to where it says "free Paypal shopping cart" you can
click it and see some info. It looks like you enter a set price for
shipping for each item, as well as sales tax, etc.

Jennifer,
I handle the site and shopping cart for my step-father's store and have been
very happy with the options available through SecureNetShop
(http://www.securenetshop.com/). It's $229 a year, which might be a bit
spendy (depending on how much you sell), but offers quite a bit (including
the ability to enter weights for shipping, which it then references to
FedEx, UPS, USPS for real-time shipping costs (based on zip code).
I think they have a demo of it on their site, but you can see it in action
at www.coffeeteaonline.com - you don't have to actually complete an order,
but you can see how it works. You can change their colors & stuff to match
your site, too.
They accept paypal, mail orders, fax orders, even checks... and credit
cards, of course. You can set up discounts and in a round-about way, even
gift certificates.
I do know people who use Yahoo stores, and don't mind their system, but I
haven't really researched that. What I like about this one is I can set up
the site as I want, and then just link the product to the shopping cart.
Hope that helps! If you have other questions about it, let me know.

I have been getting so many fraudulent emails supposedly from both eBay
and PayPal that I don't know which is which any more. I don't feel like
doing all the research to deal with this. I have sent some to
spoof@ebay.com and spoof@paypal.com but the emails just seem to be
coming more and more frequently. I am going to put them in my Spam
file.

I know some people object to even having secondary e-mail websites, but
it's an approach that works. I get dozens and dozends of fraudulent
e-mails in the account I use for ClayArt. I can safely ignore them because
I have NEVER used this account for funds transfers, notifications from
vendors or buyers, etc.
The e-mail account that I use for financial matters has been clear of
spam for over two years. I can take things from that account seriously.
Best wishes -- Steve S.

EBay now has a message function that duplicates
every legitimate message they send to you onto
your 'My eBay' page. So, when you log on to your
page, if the message doesn't appear there, it's
bogus. Mostly, I don't bother, though. For every
legit eBay communication I receive, I probably
get 200 fake ones. No kidding. And since the
legit ones are hardly ever (in fact never, so far)
time-critical, I just delete them all. I figure
I'll find out about it the next time I log on,
whenever that is.

Ebay and Paypal claim that you can identify their emails by the fact they don't say "Dear Ebay (or Paypal) user" They say it will always say your name in their emails.

I don't even bother opening the damned things anymore
even to check the heading. The statistical likelihood
of any of them being legitimate has dropped below the
point where it's worth the effort.
