Important PayPal Invoice Notice!
Your Invoice May Not Be Correct - We have had the automatic invoicing feature of MySkatingMall.com create invoices with had no shipping charges included in the total invoice amount. We have also had the automatic invoicing feature create separate invoices for every single purchase instead of allowing a single invoice to be created on multiple item purchases. This ends up causing overcharges on combined shipping costs.
