I just came across a site that looks like it is offering a pretty good deal for someone who is just starting to sell online products.

The site offers free setup and hosting for up to 250 products. Wow! I haven’t tried them yet, but I would if I were starting out. You still have to have your own gateway service (Authorize.net), but you have to have that for many shopping carts.

If you sign up for one of the free accounts (this appears to be a time-limited offer, so jump on it if you are interested), it will stay free as long as you stay within the limits they set (250 products and a good amount but not unlimited storage).
