I almost forgot what this was about. I am old and numb in the head. Oh, yes! Paypal!

One problem for product sellers (dealers) is collecting money. It can be expensive to get a credit card service and it can be a hassle.

Another problem for a multi-product vendor is getting shopping cart software. It too can be expensive.

I mentioned Bishosting.com and there are many others who provide services at reasonable cost. But a shopping cart can be provided by some hosting services.

I started my son on Paypal and I use it myself. I'm not going to give you the details but here is how it works:

1. You go to Merchant Services
2. You list your item, cost, options, shipping and taxes (you will set up tax and shipping criteria.
3. You choose an Add to Cart tag and get the code.
4. You place the code in HTML mode into your WP site or on your HTML pages.
5. You get the code for Review Cart and add that to your site under each item you post.
6. You can also add your own digital products which you will have downloaded automatically for Paypal will send you to your page telling the buyers how to download the product.
7. You get confused so you call Customer Service (like I do.)
