Hah. It's also interesting to note that there is no revenue for iShip. They've got no banner ads, they dont take a comission for referring you to UPSs public-domain rate chart, they don't do anything! (Except get bought by stamps.com soon after incorporating)

They also claim a great "feature" for ebay users. Their "integrated auction solution" is for users to put a html link to the iship.com website, where the bidders can enter their zip code and get a shipping cost from UPS/fedex's public shipping database.

Or I guess the user could type "ups.com" and get the information themselves.

Yes, certainly worth 300 million.
