Haven't seen Google list... SPoke with STARTECH, my SSL CERT PROVIDER, since the error code is for the SSL Cert. Our SSL CERT is valid. The SSL CERT that isn't working is from PAYPAL. It's something on their end.
 I spoke with them earlier today but haven't got back to them yet. Google is working fine.

Fixed.

So as I'm noodling, how does the shipping work? is it always a flat rate? 

Your online site takes its prices from biggestbook.com (which are manufacturer suggested prices) and you send the packing slip to biggestbook.com(not there real name the site if vary ambiguous) and they drop ship product for you. changing you $2 for a pen that you sold at the $4 manufactures suggested price.

If this is how it works, and we want to take a large piece of the pie I have some thoughts.

if I'm way off enlighten me on the business process.

Thanks,

Shipping = minimum charge of $8.75 vs 12% of purchase. The business process is basically as you see it.. you have to mark up your products so you can make a profit. I generally mark everything up 25%. Found the GOOGLE stuff.

Looking over the import script, can't figure out where things get marked up, do you do this by hand?

Here is my though, if the database knows what the cost is (per product), we can add our percentage. Then for each product we can compare our competition price aka check office max, staples, office depot and see if we can beat there price. And still be profitable on the product. All automagically.

I don't mark them up from Biggest Book. That's the price we sell at.

There's another database for the wholesale prices we'd have to tie in to.
