Hello readers. This is a new kind of blog that I'm doing today. I have been talking about selling books online. I decided to look at my options beyond where I've sold books before.
This is what happened. I was going to try some alternatives to Amazon and eBay. I started looking around and found out about shopzilla.com and pricegrabber.com. One of them, shopzilla.com, requires an e-commerce website. I started looking around and saw Vendio, which I have read about before. Then I did a Google search for a free ecommerce website and found ecrater.com. All of this was Sunday morning.
Today, Tuesday in the afternoon, I have my own storefront with a domain name I like. I will be selling books at myplanetbooks.ecrater.com.
The setup was easy. Since I already have Paypal, all that was needed was to register for Google checkout, which you only pay a small percent when you make a sale. In other words, people that buy books from me have an option of paying through Paypal or Google checkout.
I like ecrater.com. It is new, and it has potential. After I get some merchandise online (books I have and what I plan to get), I will start promoting my site. I will also blog about my experience there, and the items that I plan to sell.
Please stop by and leave some feedback, either in this blog, or at my website. You can decide if you want to create your own storefront too, using ecrater.com . Bye for now.
