Quantities - Sold Out Not Functioning?

[Fenton]

I am testing PayPal's shopping cart and it isn't responding as I expected. I have an item that has 3 types in the drop down. I have a quantities of 1 for the 1st option, 4 for the 2nd option and 3 for the 3rd option. I set these inventory levels when programming the button and indicated that customers could not buy something when it is sold out.

However, if I add the item that has a qty of 1 to my cart and then update that qty in my cart to 2 or 3 or whatever, PayPal just recalcs the amt to sell '2' even though I only have one and have the inventory set to one. It doesn't trigger any sold out notification on this page.

If I then hit checkout, it has a red message in the Order Summary section saying 'Only 2 Items in Stock'. What the heck? I only have one item in stock. A message at the top of the page also says 'The item you selected is unavailable at this time'. But it's really not. I do have one for sale, after all.

PayPal peeps, any idea what's going on? This is driving me nuts!

Thanks!

And to top that off, apparently, adding a set shipping amount to a button does add the shipping amount, but takes AWAY the tax. What the heck? Can someone in support look at that please? What gives? I have a button set to override the shipping amount in my profile for a certain item and that works, but even though I have it set to USE the sales tax in my profile, it doesn't have any field for tax at all at checkout. Arghh!!!

Hello? PayPal peeps? Anyone care to answer as to what is wrong? Customer Service???

I am having a similar problem.. I set the quantity to 1, then try to purchase say 2 items; a warning message in a red font says that there are only 2 items available (or whatever quantity it is I'm trying to purchase) when it should say that there is only 1 item available.

Please help.

Thank you in advance.

Me too...I don't think any one has posted an answer to this one yet?

I only have one of each item for sale and when I test a purchase of 2 or 3 the inventory "message" to my customer on check out is wrong - it states randomly "only 2 in stock"...... if I were a customer and got that message having ordered a quantity of 2 then I would just get frustrated give up and cancel my order. 

Not what you want when trying to run a business!!

??

Hope some help comes from Paypal soon.. surely they don't want to be missing out on customer orders through paypal!   :  ) ( i really do think these kind of issues just stop a customer placing an order )

Hope help comes soon as driving me nuts too!!  ;  )
