A couple questions. Did you have to come up with your own merchant account,
or does Yahoo supply one on a percentage basis? I see it does use a secure
server arrangement.

***Yes, I had to get my own merchant account (Visa MC, etc). This is the
toughest part.***

Also, what is the cost?
***for the web site , $100/month up to fifty items, $300/month above
that...***

I am coordinator for a non-profit that uses www.fptoday.com for hosting.
They offer us a free shopping basket software setup called NetPlusCatalog,
included free with the regular web hosting fee, so only costs $20/$25 a
month total. Works very well selling manuals, training registrations, etc.

***sounds like a good solution***

However, we got our own merchant account to take credit cards online.
How does Yahoo compare?

*** I went to costco and got a fairly cheap deal on a merchant
account.....2.75% plus fees galore...***
