Many of us Sellers need an optional web site to sell our wares at for one reason or another. These days, a Shopping Cart service would be nice as well, because a Shopping Cart allows your customers to click buttons to add purchases together and allows the total to be "rung-up" at the end of the session.
For those of you who are like me and have @Home Cable for an ISP or a simular service, you'll know how impossible it is to add a Shopping Cart to it. And if you go out there looking for an off-site Shopping Cart place to send your auction customers to, you'll pay anywhere from $10 to $100 a month rent.
Enter this place. You get a FREE 10 megs of webspace AND a FREE Shopping Cart service!
What's the catch? Hee hee -- this is the best part. This company designed this system thinking that if they had a unique (and expensive) way to advertise the person's website, then what good is a web site without advertising? They never heard of online auction Sellers servicing their customers.
In other words, you are allowed to sign up and immediately use a FREE 10mb Shopping Cart service. THEY offer you the OPTIONAL opportunity to "join" a "Mall" for only $3,500 that will give you direct Big Business, et al, etc. ad nauseum. But you don't need to do this. Just go sign up and start using it right away.
Also, the system is designed for anyone who has never owned a computer before to be able to use their on-site tools, like Geo-Cities does, to create their web site and Shopping Cart. So just because you've never built your own web site won't stop you from going ahead.
Check it out.
P.s. I am not getting any kind of a kickback or anything. I just wanted to pass along this good find.
