Shipping costs

    I would like to use Paypal, but would be willing to use Google Checkout. I am selling an actual item that will need to be shipped. Is there a way I can charge the exact shipping cost rather then estimating it? I will be shipping through UPS.

    In Google Checkout you can specify google to use actual UPS rates. If you get a discount, you can also program this into google checkout. You must pass a weight field to GCO for this to work accurately.

    Do you think google checkout is the best option for this? Does paypal have an option for this?

    In my cpanel, I also have the option of using CubeCart, OS Commerce and Zen Cart. Would any of those be better?

    So you are recommending I get a shopping cart and use paypal as the underlying merchant part? Can any of those 3 carts I stated above do that?
