Shopping cart and checkout problem

Hello,
This is my first interaction with zencart and so far, I think its awesome. I am trying to get this website finished and I am running into some problems.

First problem:
Whenever anything is added to the cart a mysterious other item is also added. The other item has no name or quantity. I don't know what that is and don't want it there.

Second problem:
The products are not making it to the step 2 of 3 page. They do not show up in the subtotal. I don't know why that would happen.

The website is www.jewelrybuysonline.com
I appreciate any guidance that anyone can lend me.

Thanks,
Taylor

Update...
I fixed the "two item in shopping cart" problem. It had something to do with displaying attributes. Now I still have the problem of not being able to purchase anything except shipping. If I figure it out I will post how I did it but if anyone can give me some clues, its much appreciated.

What Shipping and Payment modules are you using?

What Shipping Modules display on checkout_shipping?

Do you have Zones set on the Shipping or Payment modules?

I have the almost the same problem, when you go through the buying process it will not let you pass onto stage 2 choose payment method. When you click on the link it just returns the same page.
The shop has been working but seems to have a hiccup:blink:
Payment module is credit card.
Shipping is free.
No zones.
Please can you give some guidance as it's a real problem
Thanks
Ian

Have you an URL that we can peek at where this is happening?

Hi
It will not let you past the next stage to step 2 it refreshes the existing page it was tested recently and worked fine. Not too sure how long the problem has been. The shop is live
