But they're just too big to compete with at this time. www.zeescripts.com sells an eBay clone for $57, or a multi-vendor ecommerce for $197. Both are PHP and MySQL based. It is a one-time fee, and all code is given, so you can modify it to suit your needs. Several templates, including responsive templates, are included. If Jay would host the eBay clone on his servers, I would fork over the $57. We don't really need a huge following, but it would grow very quickly, once people from the various forums and lists started telling their members about it. Perhaps someone with knowledge in these areas would have the time to look into this? Cindy Croxton
