Heh heh heh...I knew that would stir up some people. The fact is, I can't stand eCrater's way of handling shipping charges, and no calculated shipping. Can you do combined shipments? At the very least, I don't see why we are given no freedom as to fonts and sizes, or even styles on our own product description pages. I can live without HTML , though I'd rather not. This feedback thing just muddies the water, too IMHO. Whatever became of the Dmitri that was so helpful and responsive that you all invited him onto SD's forum to keep everyone up to date? Is this another one of those "all I gotta do to wipe out the competition is give it away" kind of deals.
So far, the main advantage I can see to eCrater is it's ability to get you into search engines and the fact that customers don't have to be a member to purchase from you. But is the search engine stuff that hard to do from elsewhere?
Do any of you have any experience with other easy to use web-store sites that give you a little more freedom, and maybe have a little better options for calculating and combining freight (and insurance?) that don't cost an arm and a leg? Or maybe some software to set up a store on my own website that is simple enough for a dumb cluck like me to operate?
War,
