Accepting Ebay Payments with Zen Cart: Purchase other items, and checkout

Hi, sorry to bring this up again. I really would like to have this in my ZenCart store, but I need it in a way that when added to the cart it would only read as quanty 1.

Example:

Qty  Item Name Unit         Total
1 x   Payment    $123.45   $123.45

Not like this:
12345 x Payment  $0.01   $123.45
or
123.45 x Payment  $1.00   $123.45

Does anyone know how to do this or is it even possible?

I'm willing to pay for this, so if anyone has any ideas and would like to be compensated for their work please PM me.

Re: Accepting Ebay Payments with Zen Cart: Purchase other items, and checkout

Can you guys using this share your experience with customers, do they find it confusing?

I'm having like 1 out of 2 people getting confused how to use this, saying it's too complicated, not understanding why they have to enter the amount a different way, why it shows in the cart with a large quantity and low price per unit.

I have had to stop using this and revert to using my simple html general payment page until I can figure out how I can accomplish this with zencart and have it display in a less confusing way.

Most of my customers do not have a problem with it, but I do have some that are just plain dumb. I say this not to be mean, but come on... it's not THAT difficult to understand my instructions. I basically say:

Enter auction# here:

Enter auction total here without the decimal point:
(example: If your total is $10.50, please enter 1050)

Add to Cart

I don't see why that would be too much to read, but apparently it is for some. I had a lady yesterday checkout with her total being $0.01. That's fine since I run credit cards manually and I adjusted the total for her, but if she had used PayPal then it would've been all screwed up. I hate having to do it this way, but I don't know how else to do it. Luckliy most of my customers just use PayPal to pay for their auctions. I agree that there needs to be a better way.
