I don't recommend paypal for any large-scale site. If you are selling maybe wicker baskets for the wives of your grandpa's friends at the Eagles Club it maybe ok. I started using it and built cold fusion code around the links to control my basket with a database. But it still doesn't give me enough power.

As for paypal, I'm more than a bit hesitant to use them considering some of the stuff I've been reading about people being burned by Paypal. larry -- Larry C.
