Web design tools
PayPal newly added
Product Search facilities
Order management system
24-hour toll-free phone support

I would appreciate advices and your experiences before subscribing :)

You would need to be in the United States since they use Paymentech and Paymentech is only availabe to US merchants. You can get a merchant account compatible with Yahoo / First Data though & you do not have to use them.

Other than that, check out your competition and see if you can meet / beat their prices and still stay in business.

We have a few clients with them and I will say they have provided good customer service. They do seem to charge for every little thing though so you might want to check that out - for a lot of people, they do not like that while most understand that is how to stay in business

Thanks for your valuable suggestion Corey Bryant :)

Yahoo has introduced Paypal as an additional payment processor. Can I use it as a single source to process my transaction. And also my new concern is, I am from India, will Yahoo solution will be suitable for my e-commerce site?

Since I found Yahoo 'Product catalog', 'Order management system' and 'PayPal' very attractive, can I get an equal solution if not Yahoo? I wouldn't mind integrating different shopping cart with user friendly and a good order management along with Paypal as a separate service.

I consider Webmasterworld with helping people around as a light to walk on the right path :-)

>>Paymentech is only availabe to US merchants

Any alternates to Indian Merchants?
