Interface looks nice and the innovation here is deep links into social networks.

Many of us have been selling digital files for a while. I originally came here to post how expensive 5% seemed, but after looking into it, it's not a bad deal at all.

Here's my setup: http://www.bengarvey.com/2011/04/27/my-e-commerce-stack/

My eproduct ( http://kidsdungeonadventure.com ) sells for $5.99 and I pay a flat $5/month for most of the functionality provided by Sellify. 5% of $5.99 is $0.2995. My break even point between the services is 16.7 sales per month. The other great thing about sellify is that with no other fees, you can safely run it alongside with whatever setup you currently have.

Overall, I am definitely better off with the flat rate, but the appeal of a no-cost plan is pretty enticing to newcomers.

Still, it's way better than Amazon, scribd, or other services I looked into a year ago. Glad to see some more competition in this space.
