Why our Low Fees?

When you look around the online virtual mall world, they're many options to choose from. The one thing most of these sites have in common is that to create a store using their platform will cost you money. We wanted to be different in that regard, you will never pay money for creating an online store with 10 products or less.
I have tried to sell before on other sites, it is definetly not cheap. Usually you get charged a fee for every photo you put up and can only have your product up for a couple of months at most. BUt to even find that and a place that will let you customize your own store without a montly fee is unheard off, but it shouldn't be. We want people to take ownership of their stores at www.indiemart.com
We only want to make money when someone sells a product, and even then we don't want 10% of your sale, just a tiny fraction(2.9%) for any physical product which you ship and sell. Lets not kid ourselves, you are doing all the work. You thought of the idea, you put time and effort into creating the product, you are trying to promote your own business. All we are doing is creating a platform for you to do it. Believe me when I tell you if I ever find a way to lower our fees even more and offer you the same great product I will do it. The web should make stuff like this free, eventually we will get there with your help
