There are a lot of competitors in this area; I don't see what makes Amazon better than Yahoo stores and the like.

I do wish that there was an online store provider that didn't take a fixed percentage of revenue.

Take a look at Go Daddy's Quick Shopping Cart (https://www.godaddy.com/gdshop/ecommerce/cart.asp?ci=9032). You have to pay a % to the payment processor, but the product is a fixed fee.

Thanks, that's actually really reasonable. Might be better than hacking down zencart to do only what I want.

The Amazon version appears to be a lot prettier than the Yahoo version.

That's gotta be worth something, though probably not an extra 5% of gross revenues.

https://app.shopify.com/services/signup is very Web 2.0 pretty and reasonably priced

My father and I tried setting up a Yahoo store recently, and it was web 0.5 ugly.
