We looked into it as well and decided against it. Yahoo has something similar
where they handle the shopping cart and credit card transactions. $100 a month
I think. It could be worth it. I thing you had to handle all the inventory
yourself though (which in this case, sounds like a good thing). I think we
decided to wait until we had our act together and do the entire thing
ourselves. We still can't decide what to sell though. Other than lego of
course. :)
