What is an online payment service? Who do you recommend? How does it work?
This service is specifically designed for companies who wish to sell or purchase items via the internet. It enables companies to receive or send payments from or to customers via the internet.

We highly recommend PayPal. PayPal is a global online payment service with over 64 million accounts. They are widely known for their user friendly payment service; receiving and sending payments made through your web site. Once you have decided the online payment service of your choice, you would then setup a merchant account. “ PayPal is affordable for businesses of all sizes. They are the right choice for your online business in accepting credit card, debit card, and bank account payments for low fees. Fees are applied only when you accept a payment – if you don't receive money, you don't pay a penny. With PayPal, you pay as you go – with rates as low as 1.9% + $0.30 USD per transaction.” (PayPal, 1999-2005)

What is an expanded shopping cart? Who do you recommend?
This type of shopping cart is a Paypal shopping cart replacement that seamlessly integrates accurate shipping calculations including configurable handling fees, taxes, insurance, and carrier or fixed rates with your Paypal merchant account. It provides rates for 25 domestic shipping services from USPS, UPS, FedEx, and DHL, which PayPal does not offer.

We recommend PaidAuction Inc. Their services for this type of expanded shopping cart features starts at a reasonable low fee on a quarterly basis. This shopping cart is easily integrated with your PayPal account, and is our preferred service option.
