(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — With the release of ProStores (www.prostores.com) version 9.3, eBay’s (www.ebay.com) web hosting and e-commerce brand, the company has added a streamlined new eBay seller setup process, as well as new features and an updated pricing structure.
According to ProStores’ website, ProStores Professional eCommerce costs $29.95 per month, and a premium eCommerce “Plus” package costs $59.95 per month. For both deals, ProStores takes 0.5 percent of every successful transaction.
ProStores now lets eBay sellers build their own theme and do simple theme customizations. For instance, they can change color schemes, add store logos and reputation seals such as security logos.
ProStores also helps with product cataloging imported from eBay Listings by automatically removing Javascript and Flash code added by eBay, leaving more of the product information pertinent only to ProStores available for use in product detail pages.
ProStores will upgrade current subscribers from version 9.2.1 to version 9.3 on June 16.
In another cross-promotion technique, ProStores is giving eBay PowerSellers a promotional subscription fee waiver for certain services.
ProStores is based on StoreSense, an e-commerce software originally created by Kurant in 1998. eBay bought both Kurant and StoreSense in June 2005.
