[wp-pro] wordpress e-commerce issue

[Lori Berkowitz]

I have also had the bad WP e-commerce experience. Wrote about it here: http://lbnuke.com/2008/12/30/wordpress-ecommerce-plugins-shopp-vs-wp-ecommerce/

Broken shipping, no support from anyone except Shayne who is not even  
a developer. I ended up using Shopp instead. Works great. A few minor  
bugs that seem to get fixed quickly, but overall, the store works very  
well and my client is happy. It was also much easier to customize and  
had MUCH better support and documentation than WP e-commerce. I would  
recommend Shopp over WP e-commerce any day.
