Need advice on how to handle selling through multiple URLs.
I'm selling ebooks. Each category of ebooks has a different URL.
While reading the information for 2CO, I came across a little ditty that says that there is a $19 fee to change the domain associated with the account. Does this mean charges must orginate from that domain?
Is it possible to sell from multiple domains with one 2CO account?
Is there a payment service that would be better suited for my purposes? (I was going to sign up with ClickBanks, but decided to go with 2CO.)
Any guidance on using payment services with multiple domains is greatly appreciated.

Where did you read about a $19 fee. When I changed domains I didn't have to pay that.
You cannot, however, use one 2co account for multiple websites.

The $19 fee is mentioned in their User Agreement.
BTW do you have any advice on multiple domains?

Did you read the 2co FAQ article I posted?
It spells it out right there what you are allowed to do.

You may need to open a new sub account with them for about $29 or $39 for each domain name.

Yes, I had looked through FAQs, but didn't spot it--thanks for the link.
A phone call to 2CO clarified a few matters.
Each category of ebooks has its own domain. A user downloads the ebook and installs it on their hard drive.
Initially, the user can only view the first few chapters of the ebook. After they decide to purchase the ebook they click on a link that sends them to the payment service.
What I didn't understand is that all of the ebooks for sell must be available on the domain that is used for the purchase--the URL associated with 2CO. The purpose is to prevent fraud since only those ebooks listed at the domain will be cleared for purchase through 2CO.
Since I already have one domain that list all of the available ebooks this doesn't present a problem.
For those who have mulitiple domains and choose to have the sale go through each site a $30 fee is charged for each additional domain listed.

Glad you got it worked out.
The 2co guys aren't all that bad. :)
