21 Apr 07 eCommerce providers = un-userfriendly.

So there I was happily browsing the net when I received an email…

It was an affiliate request! This might not seem odd, but I have not even finished Roach Toaster 2 and I already have affiliate requests. What the?

I was toying around with Plimus, looking around to how it all works, so I set up an imaginary product, to test with and stuff.

That was ages ago, and now someone picked it up, heck knows how!

Anyway, on the topic of eCommerce solutions. Most of the providers are insanely un-userfriendly. I am a beginner to selling stuff online, and I have noooo clue as to what is going on… The best provider I have seen so far is eSellerate. They actually seem to provide decent info to beginners. Although they offer more info, it is still greek to me.

So far… I am going to go with eSellerate for a start. A friend of mine is having trouble with them, but so does every eCommerce provider. Anyway, eSellerate seems to know how to extend its reach to the first timers.

Any other providers I should look at? Any secret manual I could find to explain to me how this all works?

Hi,

It's 10:00 am, a beautiful Sunday morning:)
- I was hanging around the Internet and saw your post right before going out to picnic.

As I work for an e-commerce provider, the subject was too interesting for me to let it without a reply :)

So, if you don't mind, what exactly are you looking for when you say that "an e-commerce provider should be user-friendly".
("decent info for beginners"= ??? )

And what other e-commerce providers have you tried to talk to before ?

I may be biased :-), but I think that Plimus' Swich Promotion takes all the hassle out of getting started. Let us set up your order page, match the look of your website, and set up your game. All at no charge, of course. At Plimus, there are never any setup charges, monthly charges, or hidden charges. What you see is what you get. And once we're done with your switch promotion, we'll send you the link for your BuyNow button. That's all there is to it.

Worried about licensing? We can accept as large a list of licenses as you want to give us. Or you can use Armadillo. Or we can call (or host) your license key generator. Or you can use ours (Piracy Protection by Plimus).

Need advanced features? We bill in 18 different local currencies and you don't have to worry about the currency conversion. You always get paid in your currency. Coupons? Promotions? Bundles? We have those... and many more advanced features. But you don't need to know all of that to get started. Just register using Vendor Registration, and check the box for the free Switch Promotion. Make sure to tell us your website (for look and feel), product/pricing/etc. We'll handle the rest. Give it a try. You have nothing to lose.

Best regards,
Guy Wilnai-Plimus.
