E-junkie is a service that allows you to sell downloads, automate and simplify the delivery of digital content and tangible products.
Featured with an easily implementable shopping cart, it offers the ability to charge tax, VAT and includes a handy shipping calculator as well. Customization of your products and product prices can be managed, promoted (through Froggle) and discounted seamlessly. Digital content is stored right on their server and is automatically processed when a customer buys the product. I especially like the feature that allows the seller to send out complimentary copies of his products through expirable download links.
For those who use Google Analytics, Yahoo, MSN Adcenters and other tracking programs, you can insert the relevant codes within the product download page so as to evaluate your marketing campaign.
It is simple enough to implement with the provided Buy Now and Cart Button, linked directly to your Paypal, Google Checkout, 2Checkout, Clickbank account or your existing shopping cart.
We reviewed a similar service in Payloadz last month and E-junkie looks to be one that gives you more value for the money. The difference with E-junkie is the amount of features and flexibility it gives the user. Pricing wise, monthly fees start from $5 and upwards depending on how many products/ hosting space you want. It is free for nonprofit organizations. One plus point about its subscription charges is that it has no transaction limit, no bandwidth limit, setup fees or extra transaction fees.
This is a good tool for products being sold on your site, MySpace, Yahoo Stores and more. It also gives non-power eBay sellers a more affordable way to process auction transactions and track goods comparing it to alternatives like Andale, Vendio, Zoovy.
Overall, E-junkie (headed by Robin K out of Tucson, Arizona) brings about a feature rich e-commerce tool without the expensive monthly price tag. The E-junkie name does sound catchy and certainly represents the whole concept of the offering i.e. “their devotion to modern forms of electronic media and communication”. And I do like the way they call their tool a “Fat Free Shopping cart” as that is certainly what it is.

1I’ve been using e-junkie for about 6 month to sell/deliver audio lessons. In most areas it is great. It is simple to set up, it has been very reliable and seems quite secure.
The major downside is incomplete integration with Google Analytics. This has become a major frustration as I can’t track the full sales cycle, i.e., from ad to transaction, and so I can’t track the effectiveness of specific initiatives.
Yes you can add the Google tracking codes, and get basic sales tracking but it has two significant limitations.
1. Because it runs in a different domain to my site all the tracking data prior to the transaction is lost, i.e., the ad or adword. To enable this e-junkie needs to make the changes as defined by Google in the GA help.
2. Because e-junkie uses the same confirmation page for both the initial sale and every time the user access the download URL, the transaction can be posted to GA a few times. This means GA over counts the sales.
