Free e-commerce account.

Even I too am still hesitating to launch my online shop to sell exclusively my art work.

I was told that I could draw pictures even when I was just two years old. Somehow, I nurtured my natural gift all through these years. My unique art work is made to appear on corporate gifts, sports uniforms and coffee cups.

Many admirers of me encouraged me to open an online shop and sell my talents. So far, I could not muster up enough courage due to fear of e-commerce. I read several bad experiences about credit card transaction processing and the horrors of fraudulent transactions and charge back. I was also apprehensive about the setup process and the cost involved.

Yesterday, one of online contacts forwarded me the URL of Merchant Express who has been providing credit card processing services since 1998.

Browsing their website, I learnt that I am given all the help that I need to setup my e-commerce account. I can accept credit card payments through authorize.net which I know is the safest payment gateway. With Merchant Express, there is no setup fee and the transaction charges are 1.77%.

Also, the sight of familiar BBB seal on their web site sealed my unnecessary skepticism.

Later in the day, I am going to sign up with them and avail the 30 day free trial. I will post my feedback in due course.
