Hello,
I use VistaPrint for my web site. It cost about $25.00 a month to use. You can set it up a 1000 different ways to suit your needs. They have templetes and you change it to what you want. I do not get as many hits as ebay but I do not get all the fees and I can charge and discount as much as I want without the extra fees. I had almost $20,000 in sales so far (since 7/1/10) and made enough to run my web site for years to come. As far as the fees it just cost me the $25.00 a month for the web site and $5 a month for the PO box and whatever Paypal charges per transaction. It is worth it. I still accept money orders, personal checks and bank checks. Of course the cost of buying items come into play also, but I get to write that off as well. I do not advertize except on here and through word of mouth. Whenever I go somewhere I hand out business cards and get business that way. Of course if anyone here who has bought anything from me should be telling their friends about my web site (WWW.SILVERCITYSALES.COM) since I sell just about anything not just strikes. I only have about 10 percent of what I have on my web site because it takes time to put it together. I'm still working a regular job 6 days a week so it doesn't leave me much time. If you ever bought anything from me and were 100% satisfied you should be telling your freinds. If you bought from me and weren't 100 % satisfied you should be telling me so I can make it right. If anyone is looking for assiatance on getting their own web site please let me know and I will try to help.
Thanks,

PS I'll be adding some commerative knives to my web site this evening along with some German money.
