I was quite perplexed today. We hope they did not realized we have realised Vendder into the wild, for some months now, especially as our services overlap so much.
We send them an email some moments ago about this fact. Let's see how it goes.
This is the first thing I looked for as well. I don't want to take the time to setup an account and build out a store only to hate how it works in the end.
Yes, why not just sell anything to demonstrate how the store works?
To summarize, it was a pretty painless process. The setup is very, very simple, and adding products seems easy enough. We're running a test with the 5 product (free) version to see if anyone actually buys! Hopefully we generate a few sales and then we'll upgrade to the paid version.
I'll post a follow-up in a few weeks with some numbers either way.
Two complaints thus far:
-Store is slow to load
-The 'Options' area is a bit confusing to non-tech people
I reiterate what I said. There is eBay, there is etsy, there are all those other places for physical goods. You'd think an Internet company would cater first to the digital-ness of the Net. Do you know what a pain it is, for example, for a single writer to sell an eBook independently?
Why does anyone ever open up a store in the real world? I mean there's already Macy's, Safeway, Cartier, Aldi's, practically any type of store you want, you can already find. So why open up a new store?
Non of those stores are anywhere near me. Sure for any given type of store, you can probably find one somewhere in the world, but that doesn't do me any good if the nearest store is a 30+ hour drive away. There are plenty of opportunities for someone willing to take a successful concept and move it to a market where nothing like that exists.
