[casual_games] Selling on your own site?

[Phil Steinmeyer]

There are many sites that will do order fulfillment - the biggest are 
probably Plimus, RegNow, and BMG, but there are others.

Browse through this forum: http://forums.indiegamer.com/forumdisplay.php?f=2 
About every 10th thread is about this issue in some form or another.

Many of the sites will let you customize things to your liking (i.e. you 
submit HTML), or will even do it for you (I believe BMG will do this).

The closest thing to a 'review' you'll find is the feedback on the forums 
above.  Plimus and BMG seem to be the ones people like the most.  I tried 
both, and prefer Plimus.  But for both of them, they're free to set up (or 
maybe a $20 one-time fee, I can't remember), so just go ahead and do it and 
see what you think.
