A week or so ago, I got a tweet from Mr. Artfire about something called Rapid Cart. Basically if you have a shop on Mr. Artfire, you can set up a window on your blog or website, and customers can buy right from there without having to go to your Mr. Artfire store. That’s a convenient tool for the customer in a rush!
And then today, I read about Toldya!, a new service that lets you build a portable store on social networking sites or your blog or just about anywhere you’d like it online. There is no fee to set up your store. You pay a $.99 fee if you sell something. However, you don’t get paid until you ship and you have to ship through UPS. That would be inconvenient for me.
But hey, if you use Facebook, MySpace or any other networking sites to promote your products, it might be worth a look.

Hi there! Thanks so much for the mention. I just wanted to clarify that the reason that ToldYa holds the buyers money until the seller ships is to provide both parties with confidence that both buyer and seller are legit. The system is entirely automated and we are working on offering USPS and other shippers now. If the shipper offers real time tracking (like fedex and ups) for all shipments then it is possible.
Also, our service can be used for local pickup and cash sales as well.
We believe we are the only service on the web that allows consumers to sell to consumers and offers the ability to use a credit card for payment. pretty cool stuff!

Hey thanks for clarifying. I’d be happy to wait for pay. It’s the UPS thing that’s inconvenient for me. Glad to hear that you are working on offering USPS too!
