    are based on management's current expectations
    and beliefs and are subject to a number of risks
    and uncertainties that could cause actual results

StoresOnline Testimony
  • "It would have been 1,000 times more difficult if
    StoresOnline hadn't come along. We have 15 pages
    with Network Solutions still sitting out there
    that we will never use. We had already been in
    that struggle for a year and didn't know where to
    go next. With StoresOnline we were able to do the
    whole thing-the whole shopping cart-do our own
    ordering rules and set it up the way we wanted
    to."

eBay Testimony
  • It is a lot faster. It allows you to list an
    eBay auction with a click of a button rather than
    having to go in and enter text. It saves you
    time because you dont have to do it twice. You
    only have to do it once.Ryan Moor
