Hi, i have been looking at starting to sell prints online and have been looking into the best way to do so. I have an epson r2400 printer so i would be doing up to 13x19 prints myself so i don't need a print and ship service like imagekind, just a service to process orders for me. I don't know if i will even sell any prints so i cannot afford to do anything with any monthly fees or upfront costs. A service that collects a commission would be ok though as long as it is reasonable. Also i planned on just using paypal so i don't have to process credit cards and i'd like to avoid the yearly cost for an ssl certificate.
My wife uses etsy for her craft items and they charge a small insertion fee and 3.5% commission on sales similar to ebay. However, etsy seems more geared toward handicrafts than photos. Is there anything like that for photography? Another thing i was looking at was integrating osCommerce into my website as a cart because it is free and having it use pay pal to check out. Has anyone used that or any other free open source cart programs? Any other ideas? Thanks.
