The service we use is among the, if not the, most secure in existence as they regulate URLs directly. This is the reason we selected this site to host our store(s). Its not a simple answer on these questions. There are other complications with EBay and PayPal we choose not to discuss and they tend to be rather one sided from a business perspective. Amazon does appear to be a more open source and one of their key executives, Oklahoma origin, reached out to us requesting why we did not use their services. He was familiar with our company and product, and just wondered if we had considered it. We have considered it though we also have a numerical volume challenge there at our size. We dont want to start a web site store and not meet obligations or risk assessments of the hosting companies. Its a major obstacle for a company with our scale of volume and staffing. We simply have to figure out all of the logistics. BCB
