Thanks,
Trouble is I think you can only find out what the total cost of ownership is
when you have signed up: and it appears to be quite considerable when an
auction item is linked back to a "Buy now" link. I think an optional small
store is extra, natch, but how much eludes me. In the case of Ebay long
copy - if you strip out the excitement of possible yacht ownership replete
with sun bleached and subservient blondes - it is still hard to get to the
cost of owning a small store.
thanks Tony
