Will first try godaddy’s quick shopping cart first. About $13.95 per month; includes web store total design application and tools, instructions,(intuitive I know; most important part though ;-j, shopping cart, then configure payment options; the cards; the options and what are not options, shipping etc.

I like the sound of a more competitive, new options and models payment marketplace ;-j

I’m a little surprised papal such a big part of the pie as far as options for merchants to offer purchasers to pay; if for no other reason that it seems like paypal pretty much the same think it was a decade or more ago; must say I rarely use the service.

Last use of paypal? To purchase Washington CAPITALS playoff tix; couple times from guy in Nevada; couple times after game had already started; paypal then email; print tix off i go ;-j

PS; does or does not paypal owe it’s continued success and strength in the marketplace and maybe even existence to it’s adoption as ubiquitous payservice for Ebay?

Here I see interesting relationship of symbioses two separate web enterprises; each enabling the other; one coming to sustain and ensure survival of the other; much like the Clown Fish and Sea Anemone ;-j

See great opportunity for these type of relationships in future; like a services company proving a needed tool to a larger web enterprise; in some cases not unlike outsourcing. If you become the X web service provider for Y fortune 500 company; more 500’s use you; countless others and individuals and groups; congratulations. You get to stay ;-j

What if design and launch a payment transfer web enterprise which delivers options and services at the level of paypal; include a few innovative others; model the whole web presence and customer experience after social networking application. Not profiles; widgets; just little, nice, aesthetically additive widget; very minimizable; expandable and shareable widget.

The actual logistics reduced significantly. Like the guy in Nevada replies to my e-mail from his community site posting with an e-mail including this widget. I am active with the service; I have my own little personalized widget. I click one entry field; type a identifier; tab; type another identifier ; on his widget just sent me; tab to third entry field; enter amount. click send; widget minimizes to tiny size and goes to a corner ;-j

Also; what if jointed partnered at a point with Facebook to have that company integrate, promote and offer. your web payment service based entirely on widgets. This could come after effort to establish as ubiquitous FB user’s service of choice.

(This went from; what-if? to “I probably should not just post this one; keep to self. But I’ve already got enough models and goals and plans to last the rest of my life. I don’t need anymore. Besides; this is not what I love to do; for me to launch this company would be BASS ACKWARDS ;-j Thank you Ted, Jeff
