Hey there Hi there all on the East Coast!

It's me again - waving from the West Coast<G>

Does anyone besides me wonder what happened to 2000? I was just getting the

hang of writing it and now they want to go and change it again. Sheesh.....

Anyway, I finally have a shopping cart on my site that really works. After

messing around since March with the other one, I tried Mals Free E-commerce

at http://www.mals-e.com/index.htm . It works and it really is free! So

for any of you wanting to get into the shopping cart scene, give them a

look. (no, I don't get anything for saying that, it's just a great service

and it's free, secure server and all that good stuff, great tutorials,

templates and hey, if I can get it running any one can). I still need to

work out a few bugs on my site but, for the most part....I'm open for

business-ready or not<G>. I have some new molds in stock and mica on the

way, so if anyone wants to take a snoop, I have 10 of each mold available

now. Mica will be in stock next week too. I think there should be about 12

different colors, all cosmetic grade good stuff. I'm sooo excited about

things finally coming together.

Wanted to say Happy New Year to everyone and thanks to those who

participated in my quick buys of 2000. It was a lot of fun and I enjoyed

working will all of you.

Have a Safe and Happy New Year!

Hi back atcha,

No, they don't process for you but you can do pay pal with it. Mal has some

merchant services he recommends but, he is basically just providing everything

else. And when you get to the credit card collection it does go on a secure

server which is a huge plus.

When you get a merchant account anywhere, watch what the rate is, plus how long

you have to keep the service and gateway fees..........sheesh. I'm learning all

that the hard and expensive way. I'd say if you don't have to get a merchant

account, don't. Stick with a business account at pay pal it's 1.9%. I'm

getting soaked 2.95% plus 65 cents per call to verify cards, plus 20 bucks a

month. Not a good thing if you're not making much money. And American express

is over 3%. In all honesty, I'm paying thru the nose because I don't have a

terminal, it uses the touch tone on my phone, so I can do credit cards anywhere

on the road. (Plus a terminal is big bucks up front) Anyhow, it makes pay pal

seem reallllllly good<G>

I set pay pal up with Mal's a bit different than recommended. My site is set up

to send me the order and they I will bill thru pay pal prior to shipment. After

trying their web accept do-hickey for a quick buy, I decided to let my cart

gather all of the order so the customer doesn't have to keep going back and

forth, filling stuff in over and over. I think it's going to work out well.

Well I hope I finally got around to answering your question<G> Sorry for giving

you an entire chapter but hey, if it helps save somebody else the grief of a bad

merchant account, it was worth it.

If you have any more questions, just yell. (oh and you can set your site up any

way you like, you're only adding hyperlinks to the secure server, or you can use

forms)

ttfn

RE: free shopping cart info

Hey Terry!!!! Just today I was thinking of you.

All good I hope<G>bwahahhahaha

Hadnt heard from you lately

and was wondering how you've been!

Wondering where the year went so fast and why I'm so tired<G> Seems just like

yesterday we were sweating the Y2K thing. We're still eating the

supplies<G>bwahahhaha What the hey, it didn't cost much for groceries this year

and we still have a new generator in cherry condition.

Other than that, I'm just trying to get a few left over soap orders ready to

go and then I'm going into hibernation till next year heehehehehehe next year..

I keep thinking of Hal and Dave, in that 2001 space odyssey movie.... I crack up

laughing every time I have to write that number<G> Boy, talk about easily

amused<G>

So, how have you been and how much snow is there, where you're at?

From the looks of the news, it's suppose to get ugly in the eastern half.

Burrrrr keep warm

Bwahahaha now that's a thought! But hey, if we ever start getting some nice

storms here, our local power sometimes doesn't come back on real quick, and they

don't care LOL At least I can run the bunn coffee maker if we still have the

generator<G> What do ya want to bet, if we do get to try it out this year,

murphy's law will kick in & it won't start<:-) And there I'll set with an

empty coffee pot LOL
