I'll try not to sound like a commercial, but I can remember when Paul was a
non believer in Paypal. Now he accepts Paypal on his Website.
Alot of the times People were reluctant to use it when it was owned by the
Company who first Concieved it, which was a group of Investors I believe.
Now that its an Ebay Company, its been streamlined a bit more, and since
Ebay is strict on Fradulent activity on their Auction Site, Paypal has
become a more secure place to do business.
I would agree the problem possibly lies with the Website you were using for
the purchase. If they do not sport a Paypal Logo or a Paypal Shoppping cart,
I would say that the site is not Paypal verified, and ought to be reported.
The 'looping' you described sounds like it could have been a ISP
Connectivity Issue or Network Timeout.

Philip:
The problem is clearly not PayPal, but the merchant you were dealing with
who chose to put you through the ordeal you describe. The merchant designed
the shopping cart and the business rules it operates by.
