Hi again,

As far as I can tell from the ec_devel output (see below) the flexicharge is 
being presented correctly to paypal. However once the customer clicks 
on 'Place your order', paypal's website is still showing a price 20% more 
than on the 'review and submit order' screen.

For a concrete example, try adding this product to your cart, then complete 
checkout as far as paypal login:
http://www.seaweedproducts.co.uk/products/feed_licks/AN023

If anyone has time to try that, you will see my problem straight away. The 
order price is GBP33.68 total, paypal wants 'Total with Postage' GBP40.42

Here is the ec_devel output for the cart object:
items
Array
(
    [95] => stdClass Object
        (
            [cookie_id] => 1
            [nid] => 95
            [qty] => 1
            [changed] => 1202861545
            [data] => 
            [title] => 4kg Bag of Sea-Feed Seaweed Granular Plant Food
            [vid] => 653
            [pparent] => 0
            [sku] => CON011
            [price] => 9.99
            [ptype] => tangible
            [hide_cart_link] => 0
            [stock] => 0
            [manage_stock] => 0
            [availability] => 2
            [flexicharge_methods] => Array
                (
                    [shipping] => Array
                        (
                            [delivery] => 10.99
                        )

                )

        )

)

Thanks again,

Chris
