VB.NET

   Marco Bellinaso, a long time friend of VBCity and highly regarded author, has just launched a new service that seems to offer an unusually fair and greed-free service for anyone who wants to sell "digital goods".   These are things such as shareware applications, eBooks, videos; in fact any kind of downloadable files.  Most of the service providers in this field seem to charge a higher fee than the one offered here - basically it's 5% of sales, but Marco's idea has a nice touch.    Nothing to pay up front, no waiting for your sales income, no setup or monthly fees - you just agree to let byteCommerce have the income from every 20th sale you make through the service.

  I think this is a really neat idea for anyone who is unsure of finding their way in this sometimes complicated market.   Effectively it costs you nothing until you have sold at least your first 19 items and, if you have a successful product and a steady stream of income, it's coming directly to you as soon as a buyer makes a payment. 

   More info on the service here a useful FAQ page here and a full feature list here.
