Some of the customer features will include the ability to upload images as well as text to their ads. The core technology behind this site will be an Online Auction Engine, elements which are being custom built for iChargeit by Netgateway as part of the Internet Commerce Center. Jesse Cohen, CEO of iChargeit, commented, ''The Company has made tremendous strides in building an interactive site, where one-stop shopping is the key. The strength of Netgateway's team of developers and programmers made it a natural evolution for us to expand our current relationship with them. We are confident that the addition of the Online Auction and the Classified Ads will only enhance our efforts to become the premier provider of e-Commerce solutions.'' Also, iChargeit's previously announced Affiliate System coming this summer, is gaining significant interest due to the offering of a variable commission structure. The Company' commission structure is unprecedented in that commissions will vary and be broken down to the individual product level, enabling the Company to share higher commission rates on higher margin items. Concurrently, iChargeit will offer residual commissions to affiliate partners whenever someone leases one of the Company's Global Storesonline e-Commerce enabled storefronts. ''This certainly sets us apart from our competitors who offer only flat rate commission schedules, thus making iChargeit extremely enticing to potential clients,'' Cohen concluded.
