The problem is congestion. Google can't get the carriage information from the Aria servers fast enough during the checkout process so it defaults back to a 'failsafe' - which was set to something a bit insane.

We have raised the issue with the devs, but if you leave it for about 10 mins and try agan, it should be back to normal.

One would have been on super special which means only 1 at that price.

What's the advantage of using Google? I tried it a few times when it started and they were giving pretty good incentives to use it, but I wouldn't use it now. Apart from anything else it used to be that if you paid using Google you couldn't use the Order History thingy (that's a technical description... ;) and as trader with lots of orders with Aria I find the Order history really useful (especially if I've misplaced the invoice which came with the delivery).

I might be wrong, but I guess the main advantage is, that if you are a new customer and use Google Checkout with your existing Google account, you won't have to fill in your details..

If i've ordered using google checkout does that mean i've overpaid on delivery? It said 11.99 shipping which i thought was maybe a bit high but didn't think to check by signing up to aria checkout and doing it that way.

Now I feel a bit ripped off, even if its not Arias fault.
