Has anybody used Vistaprint Internet Marketing Package?

[TTOPIAH]

I recently had a friend make a website for me but his webdesign skills are overrated so i need to start again.
Ive used vistaprint before (not for web design) and they seem reliable and cheap and a company i can talk to if i have any problems.
My site would be selling video games but i also want to include a database of information and reviews.
I would like to hear of anyones experience of using them and this package or any other recommendations.

Sorry, but we have had no experience with them, however if you are in need of a webdesigner to build your needs, give me a shout

I didn't know vistaprint offered eCommerce solutions..?

In regards to information and reviews for your site, do you mean having information on the products and customer reviews? The shops I make have all that built-in. Or do you mean having additional info and game reviews? (such as game news, previews, guides, etc). In which case, I'd probably go with a blog in addition to an online shop. (A lot of eCommerce solutions do allow for content management though so you can add your own pages if you want).

Just had a quick look... seems as though it will only support Paypal otherwise I would have been on to them about a gateway module

This is the only downside to vistaprint, they do only accept paypal. We cannot bear paypal and refuse to use them for buying or selling.

What we have done with our website is put a link on for people to pay but it is long winded. People have to send us a contact form, with the details of what they want to pay for. We then have to respond to their e-mail with a link that we have made using our merchant providers website. They then click on that unique link and make the payment.

It is not the easiest by a long way but it is the only way where we can keep control of our website and avoid paypal.

Wow, that does sound long winded. Does that not put people off? What is it you sell exactly, just curious.

I would have toddled off, jumped in my car, driven the 10 miles to the nearest shops, bought the product and returned home before that was finished you would have lost me as a customer...

Dog training sessions. We prefer people not use this method but there are a few who are happy to. The others choose a different method that suits us all. I would sooner lose one or two customers than the whole of my business thanks to paypal.

Is there a story here? You sound like Paypal stole your car!

I know some people complain about Paypal service and charges but it does work pretty well and people trust it.

I agree, paypal is an excellent system if you use it properly. You certainly won't lose your business and if it does all go pear shaped all you need to do is delete the link from the site.
