Anybody used this e-commerce solution before? Do you recommend it if so?

Never heard of it but looking around it looks a bit overpriced for what you appear to get. I'd be interested to see if anyone else has actually used it though.

http://www.cosmicsoda.com/ uses them, however you can get the same result with a free solution like http://www.magentocommerce.com/

I've been trying to use magento for the last couple of days, I just find it overly complicated and irritating to skin and change the look of.
- look on the magento site for "blank theme", much easier starting point than the demo storeacescence

True, it is a bit hard at times. Have you had a look at http://www.opensourcecms.com/ to see if there are any other solutions that are good? You always have OpenCube and Zen cart.
- Zen cart is shitejamble
- OpenCube is better.OhYeah
- do you mean opencart?peterorpete
- Yes sorry was thinking of something else :)OhYeah
- zenCart blows bad.airey

Hey Madirish, have you got any sites you designed with tradingeye that you would be happy to show?
- none that are ready yet. :) have 2 going at them moment though. just know that the display is 100% CSS (rad) and the cms integrate flawlessly.madirish
- ...integrate flawlessly. while always an open source fan, for the price it is well worth it.madirish
- thanks for the advice, yeah it does seem alot more logical than magento and copeterorpete

oh i feel like such a simpleton :( I though the £350 was just for the software which would allow you to make as many websites as you wanted at no extra cost. Didn't realize it costs that for each individual website you want to put online. Hits himself for being simple.

that's it.. £350 is for a single license based domain name. However, they also offer free license for test domain which last for 6 months... you can ask for its extension once it reached to expiry date.

bump.
also looking at TradingEye - looks good...
Magento seems real slow and way to complex.
