McGovern has announced that he will sell the company through the popular action site eBay. Bidding ends on September 17, 1999, at 12:10 a.m. PDT. According to McGovern, "The time is right to do this. Our products perfectly match what is hot in the market right now, and we feel that our product line would be a perfect addition to a new or existing company trying to expand their presence in the E-Commerce space."

"Our sites have a strong affiliate program, real-time credit card transactions, fulfillment extranet order processing, on-the-fly image processing, and a set of online services and products.
