I didn' t look at the site. So don' t know about the 9.95
I used to use them... it was free unless you had a sale then you paid a hefty %

Is this really a lot for someone who will only be selling a few items? As to the donations, I suppose they can set that up in units, with X amount of money sold like an item.
Are there not a lot more expenses involved with other ecommerce setups? They appear to be better suited for use by someone who has numerous items to sell. Or am I missing something?
In this particular case, my guess is that each year the ministry will only be selling a couple dozen of their one music CD. Don' t know how many donations they' ll get online but it is a very localized ministry.
thanks, gail

I think it is a lot, especially if they are only selling a few items. If they were selling a lot the $9.95 becomes less daunting. But in that case 9% would be ludicrous. So either way, looks like a lot to me.
$9.95 per month is $119.40 per year, which would pretty much wipe out the value of sales completely, say they sell 24 CDs a year - that' s $4.97 per CD, and that IS a lot.
Have you taken a look at www.2checkout.com? I have had an overall good experience with them and they are quite a bit cheaper.
I have also used Paysystems for a few clients and have had no problems there either. http://www.paysystems.com/

Paypal!!!!
You only get whacked for 2.5% and they have a generator to build the HTML for the buttons for " Buy It" and " Make a Donation."
Plus, where you need a PayPal account to make the transaction, the chances of fraud dip dramatically.
My 2 cents...

I use paypal for almost an identical situation. A couple of items to sell and donations and it seems to be very satisfactory for them.

Abby...
As usual your advice here is most helpful. I' ve been looking for a simple turnkey solution for e-commerce.
I have actually signed up for 2checkout.com and so far am tickled pink. Once I get my fledgling business going, I' m am sure I' ll like it more.
I have also put paysystems.com in my bookmarks as well. It seems to be fairly straightforward as well.
Again--thanks.
