down to see it).

the item you wish to sell.

default)

packaging, VAT etc.

Button Factory will generate customized HTML code as shown below:

Problems With Buy Now Buttons
However easy as they are simple buynow buttons have some
problems.
- You Need to go through the process for each item you are
selling
- Buttons are stored in your profile (under saved buttons
-se below) but they are not as easy to edit as when using a
product database which you get with a proper shopping cart.
- Not Really suitable for a large number of products.
