A few weeks ago, I would have answered "E-books" to this question, as there is no shipping cost. But since some members ruined that for us by insisting on selling books they did not have the rights to sell, that option is gone. Since shipping costs for international shipments often end up being more than the cost of the item, I still recommend minimizing or eliminating shipping costs if possible. If you can offer services such as web hosting or advertising, once again you can eliminate shipping charges. An other option is to make sure you deal in small, relatively valuable for their weight items, such as jewellery or watches. Your only other option for minimizing shipping is to only ship to your own country, but this greatly reduces your target market, so I do not recommend this route.
