This is not a support forum.

Please use the drupal.org forums.


jh

It is development if I see code like:

'item_name'      => $item_name,
'item_number'    => $txnid,
'amount'         => $txn->subtotal,
'shipping'       => $txn->shipping_cost,
'no_shipping'    => 1,
'return'         => $return_url,
'cancel'         => $cancel_url,
'currency_code'  =>
variable_get('paypal_currency_code', 'USD')

Should there not be an entry like:

'tax'		=>$txn->tax,

Or should I go and ask this in support where people that
have read the manual 
can answer me?

Is this not a developer question?

Will I get one straight answer here? Or just deferals? Why
do most of my 
questions get pushed by some quick answer?

Thanks

No, it's a support issue, or it's a bug report which
you should file in the bug system at drupal.org under
the module concerned.

Because you refuse to do as you're advised.

This does not exist in 4.6, and is not going to exist in
4.7. The
problem is that tax just changes gross, so it really can't
be tracked. 

what is going to happen in 4.7 is there is going to be an
area for
miscellaneous transactions so that any kind or additional
transaction
can be tracked.

This will help with the problem of passing tax to paypal.

This is not the area to be asking specific E-Commerce
questions.

The best place is most likely in the E-Commerce project.
There are a lot
of people who are following development and helping other
people.
