I signed up with about 1 month ago. It has been around for a bit, but it does need some umph to get going. Both sellers and advertising. But what I was going to ask, is if people could go and look around. If you can sign up (no obligation) then I can get $1 credit to use back towards putting more items up!!! He has it set up so that the service is free to use. You can list an item for 180 days free of charge with 1 picture. THEN, he has other items...if you want it featured on the home page. If you want multiple pictures, if you want it highlighted. The only selling fee is at the end, there's a 5% charge. This would be good for those who have no website. Or for another advertising spot for your items (if you have them on your website, then post them here, also. The worst that can happen is that you sell them on your website, and you have to remember to remove them from hj! *AND*, he is setting it up with more categories. He now has a category for beads, and one for findings and gemstones. Under beads, he has subdivided it into lampwork, polymer clay, swarovski, etc....So it could work for those of you who don't list your beads on eBay, you can put them on and on your site. He has it set up so that you can accept multiple forms of payment. Not just paypal. If we can get some established people on there, with their clientele visiting, I think we can make this work!!! So, if you wish to visit, here's the link: This link will get me that little credit, so that I can use the spoofy services, if you sign up. Signup is no obligation, it's as a buyer, a seller, or as a browser. Okay, enough blabbing...I hope that this helps people!!! Thanks, everyone! Mary

vj found this in rec.crafts.beads, from Kalera Stratton :

]Hmmm. Moxley is a web commerce developer, and his information is that it ]does no such thing. He says it has NO effect on anything besides the ]pop-up that says your information is not secure.

okay. david is also. david said the "pop-up" stopper and the actual secure interface [htmls] are two different things. it's the encryption part that is important. note: there is NO way anyone can prevent misuse of information once it has been given to a store. what the encryption does is prevent it from being "trapped" by a third party between you and the secure server.

But the secure certificate doesn't have anything to do with the encryption... it's just the pop-up stopper. You're talking about a secure interface, which you can have with or without the $70 certificate. I'm talking about the secure certificate, which you can purchase with or *without* a secure interface.

That's what I think! It's extortion, and I can't for the life of me figure out why it's legal!

I wasn't talking about a security certificate - I was talking about a secure server for processing credit card info. :) I don't have a security certificate for my website, because my shopping cart software is housed on mals-e.com's secure server site, so I don't need to have one. :) If this site requires you to register with credit card information, they need to have a secure server to process that info. I don't really trust the security certificate thing either - it's just a play - like you said. :)

Oh, OK! I get it, sorry!

Though I did learn, the other day, that you can't tell whether they're using a secure server if they use frames! Wierd.
