Hi Starfire,
It entirely depends on the products you are selling as to what margin you can work with. Many products/product ranges will allow for much more than 6% margin and they will still be priced at competitive levels.
A 2% margin would only be applicable to high value electronic goods where the prices just don't allow for siginificant markup, but this is the case for pretty much all of the electronics retailers out there. Margins are slim at best.
If you have the traffic and the right niche/product range you can make solid revenues through Shopster. Certainly way more than 'pennies'. Shopster would not be in business if that was the case as all our retailers would cancel their subscriptions! The majority of our retailers pay off their subscription fees extremely quickly, and from there on it's all profit.
