recent activemerchant examples needed or perhaps another solution

Hi,

I have a reeally big problem with understanding how to use ActiveMerchant, Perhaps someone would point me to a different solution to my problem.

I need to build a little web shop which will be based in the UK, and my customer wants to use PayPal Express Checkout, because there's no monthly fee.

So far I had only problems with ActiveMerchant examples because: 1) they are way too old, both ActiveMerchant and Rails have changed a lot over time. 2) Examples are US centric , which doesn't always work with british Paypal 3) Recent ActiveMerchant doesn't seem to support UK Express checkout

I would be very grateful if somebody has shown me how to use ActiveMerchant with british PayPal Express checkout, or alternatively shown me how to use it with another plugin. I'm using rails 2.3.5 for this project.

I have found UK specific PayPal documentation, and I'm back on track, hopefully today or tomorrow I will be able to show my customer a working prototype. As it turned out I can buid custom shopping cart in Rails and pass to Paypal total amount and other info in html variables. So the is no need to create static button for each product.
