Personalized eCommerce, Auction Selling and Item selling are ways to reach more customers, expand your market and give customers more ways to find you.

• Personalized eCommerce sites let you take a logo, graphic or design and put it on items for sale ranging from t-shirts to mugs, mouse pads to postage stamps and promotional items in general. Example This allows you to promote your website and its products.

• Auction Selling allows you to sell almost anything, one item at a time and may allow merchants to link back to the merchant's main website. This is a lot like a classified add.

• Item selling requires that the website already sells that item or will allow you to add it within their product categories.
