Actually, I've been considering doing the same thing but have no experience with shopping carts. Curtis, I appreciate you feedback and help. I'll definitely check out 1ShoppingCart when I'm ready to proceed.

You raise some helpful points. It would be interesting to know your thoughts about business development strategies for anyone who is managing a large catalog.

I'd like to offer some feedback on E-Junkie. While the $5 monthly fee is nice, it certainly leaves something (a lot) to be desired compared to 1ShoppingCart. Having used both, I'd say if you can afford 1ShoppingCart, go with it.

E-Junkie is limited to selling only. If you want to offer a free download to help drive sales you can't do it with EJ. It doesn't allow you to track clicks on links. Although if you buy the Ninja Link-Cloaker plugin, I guess you'd get the same info...not sure.

1ShoppingCart provides excellent technical service, in my opinion. E-Junkie has probably the crappiest forum I've ever seen for a commercial enterprise. I sell very little of my e-book (something I'm trying to remedy). That's the only reason I'm staying with E-Junkie.

I work for a company in the fitness industry that wants to get into online selling and the first website I showed them was WordPress.com. The second was Marketer's Choice (1ShoppingCart).
