What's the most economicable way to start a e-store with 100 of your OWN products?

I've been researching:
- web hosts with shopping carts (like Miva Merchant)
- amazon zshops
- yahoo stores
- etc, etc,
but can't seem to find anyone who will let you sell about 100 of your OWN products for much under $100/month (by the time you add in the hosting costs, merchant costs, etc.)

Anyone know an angle I don't? Please help!

its hard to go below that cost....
coz theres costs with security and such...

my company would charge you about 295 per month, Canadian dollars.... plus about .45 per transcation...

Cheaper startupL

Get your own domain name, and maybe even free host.

Post your stuff there.

Advertise on Ebay, linking back to your site.

There's this:

http://www.pair.com/pair/ecommerce/

Commerce MIVA $49.95/mon
$75 setup
- 500MB/Day Traffic
- 250MB Disk Space
- 50 Mailboxes
- Access by Telnet or SSH
- Custom CGI and SSI
- MySQL Databases
- Secure Server (SSL)
- MIVA Merchant and Empresa

I don't know if that's a deal for those services, though. You could go cheaper with a more basic account (starting at $6/month) plus an extra $15 a month for shopping cart service.
