There are many advantages if you decide to sell products on Yahoo. Let's take a look at how selling products online has changed over the last few years with the availability of Yahoo Merchant Solutions.

Yahoo offers several ecommerce services with which you can set up your own ecommerce website. If you've wanted to set up an online website to sell your products but have been worried about being able to design your website, manage its inventory, accept credit cards and sell online then the ecommerce solutions from Yahoo meet the end-to-end requirements of entrepreneurs running small businesses.

Since the time we published the Yahoo Merchant Solutions review, we've received mails asking about how a person can open a Yahoo merchant account. Technically there is no way to create one because Yahoo doesn't really offer merchant accounts. What it does offer is everything else that you need to sell your products online. For a merchant account Yahoo has a tie up with a merchant account provider - First Data with which you can sign up and get very low rates for accepting credit cards. You can also sign up with some other merchant account provider.

Yahoo Merchant Solutions offers three different plans. Consider if you're choosing the right one. These plans are structured differently and offer varying features. They meet the requirements of startup bedroom operations to relatively larger operations with hundreds of thousands of dollars in sales. You can change from one plan to the other anytime. You don't have to start with the most expensive plan if you're not sure about the volume of business you're going to do. All the plans will let you sell up to 50,000 products. Where they differ is the cost structure.

Yahoo is offering a 35% discount on its Yahoo Merchant Solutions. This is a discount for a short span of time, only upto June 30, 2009. This coupon lets you sign up for their merchant solutions and prices reduced by 35%. In addition to this the setup fee of $50 is also waived.

Yahoo Merchant Solutions offers three different plans that you can choose from including The Starter Plan, The Standard Plan & The Professional Plan. These three plans are meant for merchants of varying volumes of sales from a business that is just beginning to get its feet wet to a business that is generating a large number of sales.
